About the name Joaquim
Joaquim belongs to the Spanish and Portuguese 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, Joaquim first appears in Social Security records in 1917. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #2579 in 1940, and in 2024 28 babies received the name — 938 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
