Where does the name Whitney come from?
Whitney comes from an English surname, which in turn came from a place name probably meaning “white island”, from the Old English hwit and ieg, says Behind the Name. It became a girls’ name thanks to actress Whitney Blake in the 1960s, then got a big boost from Whitney Houston in the 1980s.
Other forms of Whitney
Neither Behind the Name nor Wikipedia lists a formal nickname, but Wikipedia does give Whittney as a variant spelling and notes that Whitney is used for boys too. Whit is an easy short form, though not a listed one.
Well-known Whitneys
Whitney Houston, known as “the Voice”, sold more than 220 million records. Her version of Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” from The Bodyguard (1992) is the best-selling single by a woman, and her “Star-Spangled Banner” at the 1991 Super Bowl was widely acclaimed. Wikipedia says she began singing in a Newark church choir at five.
Whitney’s popularity
Whitney is the 1980s in a name. US Social Security data has it at 64th in the 1980s, when more than 44,300 American girls were named Whitney, and 99th in the 1990s. It never made the top 200 in any other decade, so most Whitneys are now in their 30s and 40s.
A few more things about Whitney
The highest point in the contiguous United States is Mount Whitney in California, at 14,505 feet. Wikipedia says the California Geological Survey named it in 1864 after Josiah Whitney, the state geologist. The survey’s Clarence King climbed nearby Mount Langley by mistake in 1871, and when he finally reached the real summit in 1873 he was a month too late to be first.
Gift ideas with Whitney in mind
- For a hiker. A trail journal for a name that tops the Lower 48.
- For a pop fan. Lyrics and playlists, in honor of Whitney Houston.
- For a choir singer. Rehearsal notes for a girl who sings like Whitney.
- For an 1980s baby. Whitney peaked then, so think 40th birthdays.
A notebook for every Whitney
Whitney’s Notebook works just as well for a teenager as for a grandmother. It’s 6" x 9", which fits in most bags, with 160 lined pages and no printed layout to work around. Use it as a diary, a school notebook, a planner or a place to collect quotes and ideas. A name on the cover turns an everyday notebook into something personal.
Why choose a personalized notebook?
A plain notebook is useful. One with her name on it is a gift. Seeing “Whitney’s Notebook” on the cover tells Whitney it was chosen for her, not grabbed off a shelf, and that small touch is often what makes people keep a notebook going instead of abandoning it after a week.
