History & Origin

Seven is the English word for the numeral 7, from Old English seofon. The number seven holds significance across cultures: the Bible's seven days of creation, Islam's seven heavens, the seven notes of the diatonic scale, the seven colors of the rainbow. As a given name it is a modern American word-name.

Seven appeared in U.S. birth data from the 1990s and has grown. It ranked #894 for boys in 2024.

Did you know? George Costanza famously proposed 'Seven' as a baby name on Seinfeld (1996), calling it a 'beautiful name for a boy or a girl' — and the episode made the name a cultural joke for years before parents began using it earnestly.
