Swannie is a unique, lesser-known given name of English origin. It is derived from the English surname 'Swan', which itself originates from the Old Norse word 'svan', meaning 'swan'. This name carries a touch of elegance and grace, much like its avian namesake, known for its beautiful form and poise. Despite not being widely recognized as a given name, Swannie brings with it a sense of uniqueness and individuality.
The name Swannie appears to have been most popular at the beginning and end of this period, with peaks in 1896 (10 births) and again from 1918 to 1924 (totaling 52 births). However, it's important to note that these statistics only account for a relatively short span of years, and thus may not reflect the full popularity of the name over time.
