These 30 Vintage Baby Names Are Suddenly Cool All Over Again

Aretha

Aretha is back, and she’s bringing bold, soulful energy with her. This fierce name comes from Greek roots and means “virtue” or “excellence.” It first made waves in the U.S. thanks to one unforgettable powerhouse: Aretha Franklin. Once she hit the stage with her legendary voice and that demand for “R-E-S-P-E-C-T,” the name Aretha became a symbol of strength and talent.

While it cooled off for a few decades, parents today are falling in love with its vintage charm and larger-than-life vibe. It’s classic, rare, and unforgettable, just like the Queen of Soul herself. If you want a name that sings, Aretha’s got your back.
