Riggin (RIH-gin) is an Anglo-American gem that marries old-world charm with fresh individuality. Borrowed from an English surname meaning “ridge dweller,” it conjures windswept hills and a sense of quiet strength. Still delightfully rare—only 51 American newborns earned it in 2024, landing Riggin in the mid-800s—it’s quietly climbing as parents seek names that stand out without shouting. For families after something both grounded and spirited, Riggin fits the bill. And with almost certainly no other Riggin on the playground, he’ll score instant cool points.
