Meaning & origin
Drema is a rare American given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1921, reaching its highest usage in 1949. It has never ranked in the Social Security Administration's top 1000, and data shows a stable but minimal presence through 2025. The name was most common in the 1940s, though it never achieved wide popularity. Drema is likely a modern coinage, possibly derived from the word 'dream' or formed from popular elements of names like Dora and Emma. It has no documented history outside the United States. While its exact inspiration remains a subject of debate among name scholars, its sound aligns with other mid-century American inventions.
Drema first appeared in U.S. birth records in the 1920s, with a peak in the 1940s. It may be a phonetic variant of Drina or a blend of Dora or Debra with Emma, or simply an invention drawing on the word 'dream.' No ancient roots or traditional etymologies are attested.
