About the name Wagner
Wagner belongs to the 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, Wagner first appears in Social Security records in 1915. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #4023 in 1964, and in 2024 13 babies received the name — 337 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
