Iggy

Meaning of Iggy

With its Latin roots in Ignatius—meaning “fiery one”—Iggy packs a punchy personality into just five letters. The name lights up a room like a spark in the dark, conjuring images of boundless energy and sunny charm. From saintly origins in Ignatius of Loyola to punk-rock legend Iggy Pop, it bridges the timeless and the rebellious in a way that feels both warm and cool. Still charmingly rare—hovering around the 900th spot nationwide with just ten newborns in 2024—parents love that he’ll likely be the only Iggy on the playground (no small thing in the bragging-rights department). It’s a standout choice for families craving classic soul with a modern edge, promising a spirited sidekick for every stage of childhood and beyond.
