Unique Origin and Meaning
Finding a really distinctive name is probably a better way to make sure your child stands out, but then again, is choosing Unique really any different to parents choosing Saint, Messiah, Chosen, Dream, Miracle, or Blessing?
While those who dislike Unique may very well dislike Chosen and Dream equally too, the name has nevertheless seen noteworthy use in the US — albeit mostly for girls. Still, a handful of boys have receieved the name each year since the early '80s, and in a recent count, it was chosen for 33 boys and 103 girls.
Derived from the Latin unicus, meaning "one of a kind, unlike anything or anyone else", Unique is also a familiar choice in Malawi, the DR Congo, and Nigeria, where names such as Blessings, Memory, and Innocent are also familiar choices.
If it's the concept of Unique you like could always try Ferdi, Ender, Tareef, Jasper, Vohid, or Sol; if it's the sounds. there's Niko, Ulric, Ulysses, and Ewan, though you might be better off taking a look at Nameberry's Unique Name Lists instead.
