History & Origin

Champagne is a word-name borrowed straight from the famous French wine and the region it hails from, whose name descends from Latin campania, 'plain, open land'. It joined the vogue for luxurious, aspirational girl names.

As a given name it was always rare, surfacing mainly in the late nineteen-seventies and eighties alongside other glamour words. It reads as a bold style statement rather than a heritage name.

Did you know? Behind the celebratory sparkle, Champagne is really a place name: the French region's title comes from the Latin campania, 'open flat country'.
