Aspin is an uncommon, unisex given name of English origin. Derived from the Middle English word 'aspine', which means thorny, it has a unique and distinctive sound. The name has been used more commonly as a surname than a first name throughout history. In recent years, however, there's been a slight uptick in its use as a given name, likely due to its association with the English countryside and nature. Its uniqueness makes it stand out, while its origins give it a touch of rustic charm.
"From 1994 to 2014, the name Aspin experienced varying popularity, peaking with 10 births in its inaugural year and consistently appearing thereafter, except for a notable dip in 1996 with only 5 births. The name's usage fluctuated over time but maintained an average of approximately 8 births per year, resulting in a total of 81 births during this period."
