Carsen

Where Carsen comes from

Carsen hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1982
    Carsen Germyn born
    Canadian ice hockey player
  2. 1985
    First appearance
    #5,785 among boys, 6 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  3. 1998
    Carsen Edwards born
    American basketball player
  4. 1999
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
  5. 2010
    Peak, #901
    226 babies named Carsen — more than any year before or since.
  6. 2022
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,678.
