Ophelia has a long history as a name, first noted in a 1504 poem (with the spelling Ofelia). From Greek, the name means “aid” or “help.”

The name is most notably known as the tragic Shakespearean character from Hamlet. While that may have kept Ophelia from name popularity when naming convention was more conservative, parents today are more dauntless with their naming choices.

The name has many fashionable characteristics to appeal to parents today. The beginning O letter adds uniqueness, and the name is made up of only soft and flowing sounds that roll smoothly off the tongue. Ophelia has also benefited from more recent cultural references, such as a song by the Lumineers and a character in Pan’s Labyrinth.

All of this has added up to a fast rise for the name Ophelia in the last decade. It has jumped over 600 spots — from #979 to #321 — in only six years since its reentry into the top 1000 chart.
