Kai
Hawaiian, Frisian, Chinese, "sea; warrior; triumph"
A name rapidly growing in popularity, Kai’s most famous bearer is Gen Z streaming star Kai Cenat, whose birthday is December 16. One of the most popular Hawaiian names, Kai landed on the list of Nameberry’s top boy names of the 2010s: It was the 12th most viewed name on Nameberry back in 2012 when it was still only the 195th most popular boy name on the official government charts. Now ranking in the Top 100 throughout the Anglosphere—51 in Canada, 72 in England, 31 in Ireland, 20 in Australia, 76 in the US—Kai is a simple, sleek name with a flexible gender and cultural identity.
