Meaning & origin
Gorgeous is a rare and modern name that emerged in the United States in 2001, reflecting a cultural trend of adopting positive adjectives as given names. It has seen a steady rise in usage since 2003, with a peak in 2019 when it reached its highest rank.

However, it has not gained widespread traction and remains an uncommon choice.
Gorgeous is a modern coinage derived from the English adjective meaning 'stunningly beautiful.' It first appeared as a given name in the early 2000s, primarily in the United States, with its usage possibly influenced by celebrity culture and the trend of using positive attributes as names.
