The name Dasher, of uncertain origin, was initially popularized by Louisa May Alcott's novel 'Little Women,' where one of the characters shares this unique moniker. It has since become synonymous with speed and agility, often used to describe swift and daring individuals.
"Dasher saw a slight decrease in popularity from 2022 to 2023, with 7 babies named Dasher born in the former year and 6 in the latter."
