About the name Hillary
Hillary belongs to the English & American 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, Hillary first appears in Social Security records in 1922. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #132 in 1992, and in 2024 79 babies received the name — 28,977 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
