Its roots are intertwined with Old Norse 'ber' and Latin 'bacca', giving it a rich, cross-cultural history that feels both classic and charmingly fresh.

In terms of popularity, Berry has had an interesting journey. It peaked at #305 way back in 1880 and enjoyed a solid 56-year run in the Top 1000, from 1880 to 1935. After that, it gradually fell out of favor, currently sitting at #7725 in 2024. Notably, Berry saw a dramatic leap of 5069 spots between 2014 and 2015, showing that it can still surprise us with its potential for a comeback.
