#59 in U.S.Popularity: Familiar
Rowan's meaning is disputed among sources — the documented reading on file is that Rowan means 'Little red-haired one' (Gaelic personal-name sense) or 'the rowan/mountain-ash tree' (Norse-derived botanical sense) — two genuinely distinct meanings depending on which lane is invoked; unrelatedly, 'a river in Paradise' in Arabic usage.
