Male is of Latin origin, meaning 'sailor'. It was historically used as a surname for sailors but is now occasionally used as a given name.
"Male was quite popular as a baby name during its peak years from 1987 to 1994, with over 100 births each year between 1990 and 1994. However, popularity significantly declined after the mid-90s, dropping below 50 births per year starting in 1996. Since then, it has remained relatively uncommon."
