About French names
French names carry an unmistakable polish — soft endings, silent letters, and a rhythm that lands gently on the ear. Many are saints' names refined over centuries, others elegant feminine forms ending in -ette, -ine, or -elle. In the U.S. they often read as sophisticated without being fussy, which is why names like Claire, Juliette, and Genevieve cross the Atlantic so easily.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
