Crash

Meaning of Crash

Crash bursts onto the scene as a modern, onomatopoeic choice for parents craving a name that crackles with boldness—and with its one-syllable punch, it refuses to be a wallflower. Rooted in the straightforward English word for a sudden collision, it carries a rebellious spirit straight off the racetrack or the video-game screen (think Crash Bandicoot) and even nods to cult heroes like Crash Davis in baseball lore. Pronounced KRASH (/kræʃ/) across English-speaking worlds, this moniker hovers around the 900th rank in the US in recent years, with eight or fewer little boys named Crash each year—a rare spark in a sea of more traditional names. It evokes both dynamism and resilience—bouncing back from every tumble—and wraps youthful energy in a single syllable. For families hungry for an edgy twist that still feels warm and approachable, Crash offers a story ready to be written.
