Legend
Meaning of Legend
Legend is a word-turned-first-name that sprints straight out of Latin, tracing a bright line from “legenda”—stories worth reading aloud—to today’s larger-than-life heroes. He carries the swagger of a mariachi trumpet and the sparkle of a comic-book cape, inviting everyone to lean in and ask, “¿Quién es ese chico?” In English ears it sounds like LEJ-end, crisp and confident, and in every language it whispers promise: the child who wears it can write his own epic. Pop-culture nods abound—think chart-topping crooner John Legend or any sports announcer shouting “¡Leyenda!” after a winning goal—yet the name still feels freshly minted. That freshness shows in the charts: from barely a blip in the ’90s to a meteoric rise into the U.S. Top 200 by 2018 and already lounging around the Top 150 today. Choosing Legend is like handing a little knight his first shining sword—playful, bold, and brimming with tales yet to be told. No pressure, kid… well, maybe just a little.
