Redd
Meaning of Redd
Pronounced /rɛd/, the name Redd traces its lineage to the Old English rēad—cognate with the Latin ruber—imbuing it with an elemental chromatic resonance that conjures both the fervent ardor of Roman cardinal vestments and the sanguine vitality coursing through medieval ecclesiastical mosaics. Historically appropriated from surname usage into the realm of given names, Redd functions as a semantic emblem of ruddy distinction, its monosyllabic precision echoing the measured cadences of Cicero’s orations even as it anchors itself in the contemporary American onomastic register. Recorded eight times in 2024 (the 916th most bestowed name nationally) and fluctuating between a zenith of sixteen occurrences in 2022 and a nadir of five in 2020, its statistical profile underscores a rare but enduring allure for parents seeking an identity that is at once venerable and singular. In the grand tapestry of personal names, Redd emerges as a testament to chromatic symbolism—an auditory fresco in consonants—dryly witty in its stoic refusal to dilute its hue within the pastel palette of popular nomenclature.
