About Sabbath
Sabbath has clear religious connotations, meaning "day of rest" in many faiths. It also has a darker, heathen side, thanks to the heavy metal band Black Sabbath.
Musician Zakk Wylde chose Sabbath for his son, but we see no reason why it can't be used for girls as well.
Sabbath for boys#10483 US
Sabbath is a faith-inspired word name, like Sunday or Faith, that is attracting some notice since heavy metal musician Zakk Wylde chose it for his son. But then there's the band Black Sabbath, which gives the name a more devilish twist. While there's nothing intrinsically male or female about Sabbath as a first name, it squeaked onto the Social Security roster for five boys in 2012, but was not recorded for girls. Sabbath comes from the word for "day of rest" in many ancient cultures.
Pronounced SAB-uth.
As of October 2026, Sabbath ranked #16814 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #14799 in 2020.
