About Sister
Sister is an old-timey nickname-name for girls, ranking in the Top 1000 as a proper name for girls until the beginning of the 20th century. But more often, Sister was used as a nickname in the truest sense of the word, not a short form ala Kathy but a nickname in the way that Chip and Bud are. Or maybe Junior is a more appropriate name analogy: Sister was sometimes the nickname given to the only girl in a family of boys, so literally a descriptive word name like Junior.
In the most recent year counted, Sister was given as a full name to zero baby girls in the US and was probably used in a casual way by not that many more.
Pronounced SIS-ter.
As of October 2026, Sister ranked #5614 in US births in 1946 SSA, peaked at #745 in 1891.
