Meaning & origin
Trinh is a Vietnamese name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1976, reflecting the wave of Vietnamese immigration after the Vietnam War. Its peak usage occurred in 1982, but it has remained a stable but rare choice since then, never breaking into the top 1000. While the name's exact meaning is debated, it is commonly linked to the Sino-Vietnamese word for 'dignity' or 'chastity'. Trinh is also a well-known Vietnamese surname, which may influence its perception as a given name. In the United States, it is used almost exclusively for girls, maintaining a quiet presence among families honoring Vietnamese heritage.
