Meaning & origin
Sloane is a name of Irish origin that has seen a remarkable surge in popularity over recent decades. First recorded in the U.S. in 1958, it entered the top 1000 for girls in the 1990s and has been steadily climbing. In 2025, it reached its peak at rank 141, with 1 in 774 newborn girls receiving the name. The name's trajectory has been rising since 1985, reflecting a growing preference for sleek, surname-style names. Top states for Sloane include Maine, North Dakota, and Colorado, suggesting appeal in both coastal and mountain regions. Its meaning, linked to raiding or marsh dwellers, adds a touch of boldness that appeals to modern parents seeking a distinctive yet familiar choice.
Sloane derives from the Irish surname Ó Sluaghadháin, meaning 'descendant of Sluaghadhán', a personal name from 'sluaghadh' (raid, expedition). The name was originally a masculine surname but gained popularity as a feminine given name in the 20th century, particularly in the United States.
