Primarily a girl's name · 100% girls
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Serenity yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Serenity peaked on count and rank together in 2013, reaching 4,471 births alongside rank 52. A 46% slide since leaves it on 2,342 births and rank 117. Its history begins in 1972 and amounts to 75,336 births, with neither origin nor bearers on file. It belongs to the virtue-name tradition alongside Trinity and Destiny, a group that rose sharply through the 1990s and 2000s and has been receding together ever since. The absence of any namesake is characteristic rather than an oversight: these names are chosen for the word's meaning, not for anyone who held it. That makes them unusually vulnerable to shifts in taste, because there is no historical anchor holding them in place when the fashion moves on.
