Meaning & origin
Lavada is a rare name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1881. It reached its peak popularity in 1907, during the early 1900s, but has since fallen out of common use and has no rank in recent years. The name's origin is uncertain, but it likely emerged as a creative variant of Lavinia or a form of the Spanish word 'lavada', meaning 'washed'. Its trajectory has been stable at very low usage, with no significant revival. While it has not been associated with many top states, it was used primarily in the United States. Given its obscurity, Lavada has no recorded usage in 2025, and its one-in-N rate is negligible.
The name Lavada first appeared in U.S. records in 1881 and saw its peak usage in 1907. Its exact derivation is unclear; it may be a creative respelling of Lavinia, a combination of 'La' with the popular suffix '-vada', or an Americanized form of the Spanish 'lavada' (washed). The name has been used primarily in the United States, with a stable but low frequency since the early 20th century.
