Name of the Day: Lincoln
February 12
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Kentucky.
Lincoln served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Born into poverty, Lincoln was self-educated and became a lawyer before entering the political world.
Lincoln led the nation to victory in the Civil War, famously delivering his Gettysburg Address speech promoting liberty and equality, as well as signing the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery in the United States.
Lincoln is one of the most popular presidential baby names of recent years, solidly sitting in the US Top 100 since 2013.
While never nearly as popular as it is today, Lincoln has had a long run as a first name in the US — for as long as name data has been kept — likely due to Honest Abe himself.
Cool-guy nickname Link has an added appeal.
