Saint

Saint is a name with its halo on backwards—reverent and audacious all at once. Drawn from the Latin sanctus, meaning holy or consecrated, it skipped the usual path from surname to given name and arrived fully formed as a statement. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian put it on the map in 2015, and within a year it had cracked the Top 1000 and kept climbing. One crisp syllable, hard T on the finish, it carries the swagger of a word borrowed from sermons and spray paint alike. Bold, brief, and impossible to ignore, Saint reads as a modern American original.
