Escarleth

Meaning of Escarleth

Escarleth presents itself as a constructed feminine appellation whose etymological underpinnings, though not formally attested, suggest a fusion of the Latin-derived element scarlatum (“deep red cloth”) with an archaic Germanic suffix -eth, engendering a novel onomastic form within contemporary Anglo-American usage. Phonologically, its transcription /ɛs.kɑr.lɛθ/ reveals a trochaic stress pattern that conveys both clarity and gravitas, while its morphological composition aligns with modern preferences for names that marry familiarity and distinctiveness. An analytical survey of United States Social Security Administration data further indicates a gradual uptick in adoption: after registering five occurrences in 2022 (rank 939), Escarleth rose to thirteen occurrences in 2024 (rank 937), thereby retaining its status as a rare yet ascending choice. Such frequency dynamics underscore its appeal to parents seeking a technically grounded name that carries nuanced chromatic symbolism without relinquishing uniqueness.
