Mont

Where Mont comes from

Mont 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. 1880
    First SSA year
    Already #505 among boys — 13 babies in the first year on record.
  2. 1883
    Peak, #460
    15 babies named Mont — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1886
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #758.
  4. 1887
    Mont Follick born
    British politician and linguist
