πHappy Fourth of July!π It's the perfect day to discuss the patriotic name:
America
Behind the Name dates the name πAmerica tracing back to the 19th century for being used as a first name. Nameberry says on the very uncommon unisex name: "Given to children of both sexes as far back as colonial times, this carries a lot of baggage. However, parents continue to take the risk. Actress America Ferrera may have inspired some families to choose the name. Ferrera's Honduras-born mother shares her unusual name."
America Ferrera made the name America popular as a first name in America. America says on being her mother's namesake, “I’m named after my mother. In Latin America, April 14 is the Day of the Americas, and my mother was born on April 14, so my grandpa named her America.” Growing up she disliked her first name and preferred that people call her by her middle name, ‘Georgine.'
America was #961 in popularity for girls to be name way back in 2015. The two states where there are the most American women named America: Texas and Rhode Island.
