21st century popularity surge
The 2011 television series Game of Thrones features a character named Arya Stark, increasing the name's popularity among Western audiences. In 2013, BBC News wrote that "the passion and the extreme devotion of fans" had brought about a phenomenon unlike anything related to other popular TV series, manifesting itself in a very broad range of fan labor, such as fan fiction,[8]Game of Thrones-themed burlesque routines, or people naming their children after characters from the series.[9] In 2012, "Arya" was the fastest-rising girl's name in popularity in the U.S., jumping from 711th to 413th position.[10] The name entered the top 200 most commonly used names for baby girls born in England and Wales in 2017.[7]
