About the name Balthazar
Balthazar belongs to the Spanish and French tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Balthazar first appears in Social Security records in 2001. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #5764 in 2014, and in 2024 10 babies received the name — 210 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
