Knowledge

Knowledge is a word name that's surprising popular in the US, where a recent year saw it given to 184 boys. And if Maverick, Legend, and Justice can be popular baby names, why not Knowledge? It's an important quality for any child to possess, via their name as well as their brain, and you can have all kinds of knowledgeability, in the classroom or the great outdoors, emotionally or spiritually and beyond.

It may feel like a heavy name to wear, however, though nicknames Nol or Ned might help to ground it.

Knowledge is also given to girls, where it ranks #9190 in the US.

Pronounced NAL-ij.

As of October 2026, Knowledge ranked #1303 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1020 in 2020.
