Meaning & origin
Trust is a rare modern virtue name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 2000. As of 2025, it ranked 3,379th in the United States, with an incidence of roughly 1 in 50,238 newborns. Its usage has been steadily rising since 2002, peaking in 2023, reflecting a broader interest in aspirational word names. While data on specific top states are not available due to its rarity, the name has seen consistent growth among parents seeking a distinctive yet meaningful choice. As a unisex name, Trust embodies a simple, powerful concept that resonates across cultures, though it remains firmly tied to its English lexical origin.
Trust is a modern coinage directly derived from the English noun trust, which itself comes from Old Norse traust (confidence, help) and is related to Old English trēowian (to trust, believe). As a given name, it emerged in the early 21st century, part of a trend using aspirational vocabulary words as names. Its rise corresponds with broader cultural interest in virtue names, though it remains uncommon.
