Meaning & origin
Porshe is a rare, modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1979, three decades after the Porsche brand gained prominence. It reached its peak popularity in 1990, with fewer than 100 total births in that decade, and has remained at very low usage since, with the most recent recorded births in 2025. The name is almost exclusively given to girls, reflecting a broader trend of using brand names as feminine given names. Unlike traditional names with deep etymological roots, Porshe is a direct respelling of a surname, and its appeal lies in its association with luxury and engineering. No top states reported significant usage, consistent with its rarity across the U.S.
