Mesiah is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin, derived from the Hebrew name Moshiach, which means 'anointed one'. The name Mesiah gained prominence in the United States during the 20th century, initially appearing in the Social Security Administration's records in 1937. It has since become more prevalent, with its usage peaking in popularity during the late 1990s to early 2000s. Despite its biblical origins, Mesiah is not strictly tied to religious beliefs and is often chosen for its contemporary and stylish sound. In recent years, it has been used more frequently as a unisex name, although it remains predominantly given to males in the United States.
