Vail, of Hebrew origin, means "to bring or to throw." It is derived from the Hebrew word "bail," which signifies "to carry away" or "to take away." This name has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique spelling and sound. Vail is often associated with the mountain ranges in Colorado and Utah of the same name, which might influence some parents' decision to choose this name for their child.
The name Vail experienced a notable surge in popularity between 2015 and 2018, with over twice the number of births recorded during those years compared to any other period listed. However, there's also significant variation from year to year; for instance, while 48 babies were named Vail in both 2015 and 2016, this dropped to 35 in 2017 before rising again to 53 in 2018. More recently, the number of births has been decreasing, with only 21 births recorded in 2022 and 12 in 2023. Overall, a total of 388 babies were named Vail between 1952 and 2023.
