About Jacinda

Jacinda, a form of the lovely and unusual Spanish and Portuguese flower name Jacinta (for Hyacinth), was first popularized by the Australian actress Jacinda Barrett. Today, the girls' name Jacinda is most notable as the name of former New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, one of the first world leaders to give birth in office, widely credited with her strong and compassionate leadership during the coronavirus pandemic.

Jacinda and Jacinta are both rare flower names that are not too obviously floral. About an equal number of girls get each spelling in the US, last year just under 30 baby girls were given each version of the name.

Pronounced jah-SIN-duh.

As of October 2026, Jacinda ranked #10435 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1093 in 1996.
