About Winfrey
Oprah's almost mononymic first name is too closely tied to her personality (and brand) for us to recommend it as a baby name in good faith. Her surname, however, is definitely name-worthy. Winfrey works as a modern update to Whitney, with the added bonus of being associated with one of the most influential women of our time.
Winfrey is also given to boys.
Pronounced WIN-free.
As of October 2026, Winfrey ranked #3938 in US births in 1958 SSA, peaked at #2090 in 1913.
