Shack, derived from the Old Norse 'Sæk', is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Scandinavian origin. Literally translating to 'sack' or 'bag', it was historically used as a nickname for someone who carried heavy loads, much like the sacks they were often transported in during medieval times. Today, Shack remains a rare choice, reserved by those seeking a unique and memorable name for their child.
"Shack saw its peak popularity in 1928 with five newborns bearing that unique name."
