Asuncion, of Spanish origin, is a charming and unique given name for girls. Derived from the Latin word 'assumptio', which translates to 'assumption', it carries a touch of elegance and spirituality. Pronounced as ah-soo-SEEN-yohn, this name has a rhythmical flow that makes it quite captivating. Asuncion is often associated with the Virgin Mary's assumption into heaven in Catholic tradition, adding a layer of reverence to its meaning. However, it is not limited by this association and can be chosen for its aesthetic appeal alone. It is rare but not unheard of, offering parents a distinctive option for their child's name.
"The name Asuncion experienced its peak popularity in the late 1940s and early 1980s with nine births each in those periods. It maintained a steady presence throughout the mid to late 20th century, with five births recorded on seven different occasions between 1951 and 2002."
