The name Diesel, pronounced as dee-zuhl (/ˈdiːzəl/), is a strong and unique choice for a baby boy. Though it may be more commonly recognized as a type of fuel, the name Diesel has gained popularity in recent years, perhaps due to its association with strength and power. It also evokes thoughts of innovation and industrial progress, thanks to Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine. The name has seen fluctuating use in the United States over the past two decades, with occurrences peaking at 156 newborns in 2014 when it ranked 1186th. Variations like Dizel exist but are less common. Diesel's distinctiveness makes it an appealing option for parents seeking a modern yet robust name for their son.
