She traces back to the Latin temperantia, meaning moderation and gentle strength. Pronounced TEM-pruhns, each syllable dances like warm honey on the lips. She arrives wrapped in calm. She carries a steady light. She’s rare in the U.S., with just a handful of babies each year—peaking at 12 in 2013 and drifting around ranks 930–980. Yet she sparkles in a crowd like a hidden mosaic tile. Temprence promises a tale of sunny confidence and poised originality from her very first hello.
