Derived from Old English origins, 'Wealthy' is an unique and distinctive given name for females. It directly translates to 'wealthy,' signifying abundance, prosperity, and opulence. The name Wealthy, though less commonly used today, was popular during the Middle Ages in England. It is derived from the Anglo-Saxon word 'wel,' meaning well or wealthy, combined with '-thy,' a suffix that denotes possession or state.
The name Wealthy appears to have been relatively popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a noticeable spike in usage between 1916 and 1925. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor by the mid-20th century, as there were no births recorded with this name after 1941. Overall, there were 174 babies named Wealthy during the period covered by these statistics.
