Athalia -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Athalia did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Athalia seemed to be more popular than ever in 2022. Although the name never ranked higher than #2,392, 64 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Athalia, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Athalia was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
