Harmony

Girl name · 66 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Harmony: 66 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2010.

The name Harmony comes directly from the English word for a pleasing arrangement of sounds, which itself derives from the Greek *harmonia*, meaning "agreement" or "concord." A notable modern bearer is the American singer and actress Harmony Korine, though perhaps more famously, it was the name chosen by actress Kristin Davis for her daughter. While there are no major places named for a bearer of Harmony, the word resonates deeply in Scottish history through the concept of the "Harmony of the Prophecies," a theme in the nation's religious and political writings. This gentle virtue name, which has been used in Scotland since the late 20th century, gained particular popularity alongside other musical names like Melody and Cadence.
