Asia
Asia means "Greek place name" and comes from Greek, giving it real etymological depth as a girl's name. It peaked back in the 1990s and has been gradually easing since. In the current registry, it is a name plenty of people share. 1997 was this name's high-water mark in the U.S. birth records.
