Donald is a classic male given name of Scottish origin, derived from the ancient Scottish word 'Dónald' which means 'proud chief'. The name was popularized by Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, but its usage dates back centuries. It gained prominence in English-speaking countries in the mid-20th century and has since been a consistently popular choice for parents.
"The name Donald was quite popular between 1953 and 1962, with a total of 23 babies born with this name during these years."
