Meaning & origin
Iroh is a modern literary name that entered U.S. birth records in 2011, inspired by the wise and beloved character Uncle Iroh from the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. The name has shown a steady rise in popularity since 2013, reaching a peak rank of 3,513 in 2025, with 1 in 53,377 male births. It remains a niche choice, primarily used by fans of the show, and has not yet appeared in any top state lists. Its upward trajectory suggests growing awareness, though it is unlikely to become common due to its strong fictional association.
Iroh originates from the fictional world of the animated series 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. The name is used for the character Uncle Iroh, a wise and kind former general of the Fire Nation. The name's adoption as a real-life given name is a modern phenomenon, emerging in the 2010s as fans named their children after the beloved character.
