China
A unisex name with no widely documented etymology — two syllables, given to 11 babies a year in the US.
China by the numbers
China was given to 11 American babies in 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
Its American peak was 245 babies in 1992, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about China
Not every name has a meaning to trace. Plenty are coined rather than inherited — invented outright, blended from two names, or respelled from an older one — and where we cannot find an etymology we can stand behind, we would rather say so than make one up. What follows comes from the birth records themselves.
