Fairy by the numbers
Fairy was given to 10 American babies in 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
Its American peak was 80 babies in 1917, so it is a 1910s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Fairy
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.
