The crypto blockchain Solana and its native crypto coin have been an intriguing part of the crypto industry, but it has also taken over parents. A recent report reveals that this term is a rising baby name in 2025, amid the significance of the name and the potential popularity of the ecosystem.
Solana Trends in Baby Names
Although the popularity of this blockchain network is undeniable, it has a beautiful meaning. Solana is “sunshine” or “sunny place,” derived from Spanish and Latin roots. Some places also mention it, signifying the ‘Wind From The East.’ The Social Security Administration and other platforms highlight that it is among the trendiest and fastest-growing baby names in America, especially for girls.
Reports highlight that it has gained the 242nd spot in the baby names, which is significantly up from last year’s 691 position and 933rd before that. Additionally, it is widely used as a name for places, buildings, a surname, and even a solar power plant.
Interestingly, the Grammy-winning R&B artist SZA, legally named Solána Imani Rowe, brought more attention to the names. There’s also the Groovy Girls doll line, launched by Manhattan Toy, featuring a Solana named doll. Therefore, it is not as unique as many anticipated, but it does give a good ringing to the ears.
As it sounds melodic and evokes warmth and joy, it is an appealing name for parents. Now it is among the top cryptos and baby names.
Solana Blockchain Refers to A California Beach
Although the Spanish language dictionary explains it as a place oriented toward the sun, and the word ‘sol’ actually means sun in Latin, this did not inspire the blockchain creators.
It was Solana Beach in California that inspired the name. In a 2023 interview, Anatoly Yakovenko revealed that he and his co-founders lived there.
The collaboration resulted in the formation of the fifth-largest crypto in the market. The present SOL price is $182.53, with a market capitalization of $94.82B.
