About Orange
An unlikely choice, but in this era of Apple, Navy, Golden, and Mint, you never know. In fact, Orange does have some historical grounding as a feminine name, appearing in Medieval times as Orange, Orenge, and Orengia, possibly after the French place name, which was named for a Celtic water god, Arausio, meaning "cheek, temple".
Orange for girls
The fruit and color name comes from a totally different, Sanskrit origin however, and has only ever appeared in the US stats for girls on three occasions, back in the early 20th century.
If you do want an orange feeling girl name, you could consider Clementine, Alani, Ginger, Honey, Marigold, Saffron, or Goldie instead.
Orange for boys
No babies of any gender were named Orange in the US in the most recent year counted. But that doesn't mean, in this era of anything-goes baby names, that it couldn't happen. In fact, Orange did appear in the US stats for boys throughout the 20th century, and was given to 20 boys in 1920. Not all that many, but still quite a lot to be called Orange.
Pronounced OR-inj.
As of October 2026, Orange ranked #4087 in US births in 1928 SSA.
