About Perdita

A Shakespearean invention for an abandoned baby in The Winter's Tale, Perdita's sense of loss has always been off-putting to parents. But her image was somewhat resuscitated by its association with the appealing canine character in Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmations.

Pronounced PER-di-tuh.

As of October 2026, Perdita ranked #9237 in US births in 1971 SSA, peaked at #4644 in 1955.
