Fantasy

Meaning of Fantasy

As a female given name, Fantasy, pronounced FAN-tuh-see (/ˈfæn.tə.si/), derives directly from the English noun rooted in Greek phantasia, meaning “imagination” or “appearance.” It has never been a mainstream choice, appearing sporadically in U.S. Social Security records since the early 1970s—peaking at twelve occurrences (rank 867) in 1998 and most recently registering six newborn girls in 2008 at rank 983. Its appeal lies in the celebration of creative vision and individual expression, offering parents an unconventional yet linguistically familiar option. Though it guarantees no spontaneous dragon encounters, Fantasy conveys an analytical nod to imaginative exploration and ensures its bearer stands out through its literal resonance and enduring rarity.
