Origin
Meaning and history of Luxury
The given name Luxury has its origins in the Latin word "luxuria," which means extravagance, indulgence, or opulence. This word can be traced back to the ancient Roman civilization, where it was often associated with excessive wealth and indulgence in material pleasures.
In ancient Roman texts, the word "luxuria" was sometimes used in a negative context, as it was seen as a vice that could lead to moral decay and societal decline. However, it was also embraced by some members of the Roman elite as a symbol of their status and power.
The earliest recorded examples of the name Luxury are found in medieval European literature, where it was used as a symbolic name to represent opulence and excess. One notable example is the character of "Luxury" in the allegorical poem "The Romance of the Rose," written in the 13th century by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun.
Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who have borne the name Luxury, though it has remained relatively uncommon. One of the earliest recorded examples is Luxury Margiotta, an Italian nobleman who lived in the 15th century and was known for his lavish lifestyle and patronage of the arts.
Another notable bearer of the name was Luxury Fitzwilliam, a 16th-century English courtier and member of the Fitzwilliam family. She was known for her extravagant fashion sense and was a prominent figure at the court of Queen Elizabeth I.
In the 18th century, Luxury Boudoir was a French courtesan and socialite who was renowned for her opulent lifestyle and influential circle of friends, which included many prominent figures of the Enlightenment era.
The 19th century saw the birth of Luxury Vanderbilt, a member of the wealthy American Vanderbilt family. She was known for her lavish parties and extravagant lifestyle, which reflected the excess of the Gilded Age in the United States.
Finally, one of the most notable bearers of the name in recent history was Luxury Rothschild, a British socialite and member of the influential Rothschild banking dynasty. She was known for her philanthropic efforts and her support of various cultural and artistic endeavors.
While the name Luxury may seem unconventional by modern standards, its historical significance and association with opulence and excess have made it a unique and memorable moniker throughout the ages.

FAQ
Luxury: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Luxury?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 94 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Luxury going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 3,646,323 US residents.
Is Luxury a common name?
We classify Luxury as "Very Rare". It ranks above 63.7% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 95 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Luxury most popular?
The single biggest year for Luxury was 2022, when 25 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Luxury is about 4 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Luxury in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Luxury a female name?
Yes, 94.7% of people registered as Luxury in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Luxury still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Luxury in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Luxury can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
