Condoleezza was coined by Angelena Rice for her daughter — from the Italian musical term con dolcezza ("with sweetness, with tenderness"). Condoleezza Rice (born 1954) — the first Black woman to serve as US National Security Advisor (2001-2005) and as US Secretary of State (2005-2009) under George W. Bush. Provost of Stanford University at 38 (1993-1999), the youngest in the school's history. Concert pianist; performed with Yo-Yo Ma at the National Medal of Arts ceremony in 2002. PhD in Political Science from the University of Denver at age 26.
Author of No Higher Honor (2011) and Democracy: Stories from the Long Road to Freedom (2017).
Condoleezza does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Condoleezza reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
