Meaning & origin
Coolidge is an English surname meaning 'cool ridge,' which came into use as a given name after President Calvin Coolidge took office in 1923. Records show the name first appeared in 1920, with its peak popularity in 1924, aligning with Coolidge's succession to the presidency. The name has never ranked in the top 1,000 since the 1930s, and its usage has remained extremely rare, with a stable trajectory showing no revival in recent years. While Coolidge never appeared in the top 1,000 nationally, its association with the 30th president gives it historical weight. The name is almost exclusively given to boys, reflecting its strong masculine surname tradition. Though never widespread, it retains a distinct vintage character tied to early 20th-century Americana.
Coolidge is an English surname derived from a place name meaning 'cool ridge,' referring to a person who lived near a ridge exposed to cool winds. It gained popularity as a given name in the United States following the presidency of Calvin Coolidge (1923-1929).
