Huy
A boys’ name with no widely documented etymology — one syllable, given to 14 babies a year in the US.
Huy by the numbers
Huy was given to 14 American babies in 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
Its American peak was 82 babies in 1982, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
What we can tell you about Huy
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.
