Journee
Meaning
modern name from the English word 'journey'
The story
Journee is the English word journey wearing a French-look spelling, and it is one of the clearest cases in our records of a word becoming a girls' name in real time: about 150 in the 1990s, 980 in the 2000s, then 8,600 in the 2010s, and already 8,600 again so far this decade, past the full 2010s total. It belongs to the register of names that state a wish, alongside Haven, which climbs in this same batch of our worklist, and the extra e's do the gendering the word itself declines to do. Journey, Journee and Journei chart separately, and the shared sound is bigger than any line. In our records it goes to girls about 18,200 to 180. Families choosing it are writing the first line of a metaphor their child will finish; as blessings go, a journey is a generous one.
