Names with a Z in them
100 names · 50 girls · 50 boys · records through 2025
Z is the least-used letter in written English and one of the most-used in modern naming — a mismatch that explains most of what this list contains.
This guide has 100 names: 50 girl names and 50 boy names. Names containing the letter Z inside the current national top-2000, ordered by today's rank. Built from US Social Security birth records through 2025. Tap + beside any name to keep it on your shortlist as you read.
Before the names
It does two different jobs here. In the older names it sits quietly in the middle (Hazel, Elizabeth, Ezra); in the newer arrivals it leads or ends, where its whole purpose is to be heard.
These are the Z-carrying names in genuine current use, in today's rank order.
