The Most Unique Baby Names Of This Past Decade

Romina might be the title of a 2018 Mexican horror film, but that little detail has not scared parents out of giving their little girls this unique baby name. According to Behind the Name, the origins of the name Romina are uncertain, although it is thought that it might be a variation of Romana, an Italian, Polish, Slovene, Croatian, Czech, Slovak, and Late Roman feminine version of the name Romanus, which means Roman.

Romina is a newcomer to the American baby name charts, although it has seen some use internationally. It popped up on the Italian baby name charts in 1999, when it was ranked in the top 200. In 2013, it was ranked in the top 50 names in Mexico. In the United States, this rare name has slowly been on the rise since 2015, when it hit the charts in the top 1000 names for girls. Since then, it has slowly been climbing up the ranks, although it failed to crack the top 500 baby names for girls by the end of the decade.
