Meaning & background
(BEE-kən): Modern word-name suggestion connected to guiding light. Not traditional, but meaningful and memorable. It enters U.S. records in American naming data in 2018. It currently sits off the most-common lists, a quieter choice. Only about 41 children have carried it, making it genuinely rare.
