From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Grayson yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Grayson is one of the more stable names in this batch: 6,211 births in 2024 is down just 6% from a decade earlier, a far milder move than the double-digit swings affecting most of its neighbors here.
It entered SSA data later than most, in 1905. Its best rank, #32, arrived in 2018, a year past the birth-count high of 8,717 set in 2017 — one of the shorter lags in this batch.
The enrichment data has nothing to offer for famous bearers, the third name in this batch (with Aurora and Eliana) whose recent popularity isn't attached to any documented namesake at all — a pattern that seems to cluster specifically among this batch's newer, sound-driven names rather than its historically rooted ones.
