Meaning & origin
Trinity entered U.S. records in 1921 and saw a notable rise in the late 1990s, likely boosted by pop culture references. Its peak year was 2004, when it was a top 200 name nationally. Since then its usage has fallen steadily. In 2025 about 1 in 2,217 girls were named Trinity, placing it at rank 428. The name has been most popular in Alaska, Mississippi, and Montana. Its religious weight gives it a distinct character separate from purely fashionable -elle or -ity endings.
Trinity derives from the Latin word 'trinitas', meaning 'three' or 'triad'. In Christianity, it refers to the doctrine of the three persons of God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. As a given name, it became popular among English speakers in the late 20th century, influenced by religious usage and prominent appearances in popular culture.
