Meaning & origin(measured from records)
Texas är identiskt med namnet på den amerikanska delstaten. Detta namn sägs härröra från ett ord med betydelsen ’vän’ på språket caddo. Som förnamn i Sverige har Texas börjat användas först de senaste årtiondena, kanske efter inspiration från USA där många ortnamn används som förnamn (jfr → Savannah).

Where in the world(measured from records)

About this data
measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated
These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.
Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.
Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
