Re: Using a name from another culture as an American
I guess that's another uniquely American name, haha, but maybe only officially: from the comments, it seems like that was probably the beginning of a longer name that didn't get recorded as the first name (by mistake) - it's used for younger people so it's basically like Junior usually is? Or maybe it was actually Central American, idk. One person related it to Mayans and another to Belize in the comments....I don't think it is very likely to appeal to Anglo Americans even if they have Chinese heritage, although yeah, I am surprised about what makes it onto the top 1000 sometimes (Ryatt?! Dutton!! Who knows, if there was a character called Ah on the TV show Yellowstone, Ah might be the fastest rising name now).
