The name has been among the 1,000 most popular names for newborn American girls since 1983 and among the top 100 since 1993. It peaked in popularity in 2006 and 2007, when it ranked 30th on the United States popularity chart. It has also been among the top hundred names for girls in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom in recent years.
The name has been in use in the United States since at least the late 19th century, according to Social Security Administration records.[1][2] An increase in usage since the 1980s has been attributed in part to the 1982 family film Savannah Smiles.[3]
