Meaning & origin
Ski is an exceptionally rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1990, given almost exclusively to girls. Its usage peaked in 2013, though it never reached the threshold to be ranked in official Social Security data. The name belongs to the 2010s decade and has remained stable in its extreme rarity, with no recorded top states suggesting any regional preference. As an invented name, Ski lacks the historical depth of traditional names, but its brevity and distinctive sound may appeal to parents seeking a minimalist, unconventional choice.
