Acai

The açai palm is a tree native to Brazil that produces açai berries (the base of those trendy smoothie bowls). Since US birth certificates don't allow for diacritical marks, we are unsure if people are naming their children after the fruit (pronounce ah-sah-EE) or omitting the cedilla and pronouncing it a-KYE.

Either way, Acai became a baby name in 2018 — peak smoothie bowl era. It debuted for girls two years later, in 2020.
