About Sakura
Lovely Japanese name that would certainly be appreciated in Europe and the U.S. It was rarely used in Japan until the 1990s, and draws its current popularity from the fact that it is deeply connected to Japanese traditional culture without sounding frumpy and old-fashioned.
Pronounced sah-KOO-ruh.
As of October 2026, Sakura ranked #2925 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #2186 in 2012.
