Yancy

US Popularity Rank: 23738

Origin: Native American

Meaning: Englishman

Yancy might be the perfect choice if you're looking for a name with a dash of history, a sprinkle of literary charm, and a hint of pop culture. With Native American origins, it means "Englishman," and this is a gender-neutral name that bridges cultures and eras. It's connected to 'Yankee,' giving it a touch of American heritage. Plus, it's starting to trend for baby girls, like a modern twist on 'Nancy,' just like the beloved character from Stranger Things. Just like the character Yanci Bowman in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Popular Girl, your little Yancy is bound to have a story all their own.
