Meaning & origin
Mahogani first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1990, a relatively recent entry among modern English coinages. It reached its peak popularity in 2000, reflecting the early-2000s trend of nature-inspired names with an -i ending. Since 2019, its usage has been declining, but it remains a distinctive choice. With an estimated 1 in 200,908 babies named Mahogani in 2025, it is far from common. The name saw its highest usage in the 2000s, but unlike some trends, it has not experienced a revival. Mahogani is almost exclusively given to girls, and its unique sound sets it apart from more traditional names.
Mahogani is a modern coinage derived from the name of the mahogany tree (genus Swietenia), used for its attractive sound and association with the dark reddish-brown wood. It first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1990 and gained modest popularity in the 2000s, particularly for girls. The name follows a pattern of nature-inspired names combined with the fashionable -i ending.
