Harmony
Meaning
from the word "harmony"
The story
Harmony is the word made name, and the record can date its arrival to a cultural moment with unusual precision: about 30 in the 1960s became 1,300 in the 1970s, a forty-fold jump landing exactly on the era that also lifted Summer, Autumn and the rest of the gentle-word wave. Decade buckets point, they do not convict. The name then held its ground near 1,500 for three decades, a plateau most fashion names never manage, before the modern build: about 7,200 in the 2000s, 16,300 in the 2010s, and 8,200 so far this decade. In our records it is a girls' name almost absolutely, about 36,200 to 39. Musical families hear the chord, others hear the household hope; the word carries both without strain, which is presumably why it has never needed a respelling.
