Meaning & origin
Vision is a modern English name that entered the U.S. baby name charts in 2017, reflecting a trend toward abstract and aspirational word names. As of 2025, it remains extremely uncommon, ranking 6,446th with about 1 in 131,390 newborns receiving the name. Its popularity peaked in 2022, and its trajectory has been rising since 2017, though from a very low baseline. While little can be said about its historical use, Vision joins a growing set of vocabulary names like Journey and Legacy that appeal to parents seeking distinctive, meaningful names.
Vision is a modern coinage derived directly from the English word "vision," which comes from Latin "visio" (sight, seeing). It first appeared as a given name in the United States in the 2010s, likely influenced by the Marvel Comics character Vision, an android superhero introduced in 1968. The name has seen occasional use since, particularly for boys, though it remains rare.
