The name Sailor is a gender-neutral name that has evolved significantly over time. Originally derived from the English word "sailor," referring to a person who operates a sailing vessel or works aboard a ship, Sailor has gained popularity as a given name primarily since the late 20th century, particularly after the late 1990s. The name gained popularity in recent years, particularly among parents seeking unique or gender-neutral names for their children. It evokes a sense of adventure, freedom, and exploration, making it a fitting choice for families with a strong connection to the sea or a love for sailing. Supermodel Christie Brinkley's daughter, Sailor Lee Brinkley Cook, was one of the first high-profile individuals to popularize the name in 1998, contributing to its widespread adoption.
