Island, derived from Old Norse 'ísl' meaning 'island', is a unique and intriguing given name of Scandinavian origin. It was brought to prominence by the popularity of Icelandic culture and its connection to the concept of solitude, remoteness, and independence.
"The name Island experienced a significant surge in popularity from 2019 onwards, with the number of annual births more than doubling between 2018 and 2019 (from 29 to 46), and continuing to rise sharply until 2021. However, there was a dip in 2022 with 40 births recorded, followed by another peak in 2023 with 62 births."
