Beauregard, a name of French origin, translates to 'beautiful view'. It was popularized during the mid-19th century and is often associated with Southern United States history due to its use by prominent figures like Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant de Beauregard. However, it remains a rare yet distinctive choice for given names today.
"Beauregard has seen a significant increase in popularity over the past century, with a notable spike in recent years. While it remained relatively uncommon throughout much of the 20th century, with birth numbers typically around 5-6 per year, it began to gain traction in the early 21st century. From 2007 onwards, there has been a steady rise in its popularity, peaking at 53 births in 2017 and maintaining high numbers since then."
