Meaning & origin
Pink is an exceptionally rare English word name, first recorded in U.S. data in 1880 with only three total occurrences, all in the 1880s. Its peak year was 1881, and it has not appeared in any subsequent decades. The name lacks a traditional etymology and is simply drawn from the color or flower. As a word name, it follows a modern pattern of using common nouns as given names, but it has not gained any sustained usage. With no top states or similar names in the data, Pink remains a statistical curiosity rather than an established name. Its trajectory is stable at effectively zero usage, and it has never experienced a revival.
Pink is a modern English word name taken directly from the color or the flower. Its use as a given name is extremely rare and appears only sporadically in historical records, such as three recorded births in the 1880s in the United States. It does not derive from any traditional name stock.
