Laima is the Lithuanian and Latvian goddess of fate and fortune — present at births to determine the destiny of newborns. The Latvian word laime still means "happiness" or "luck."
Laima is widely used in Lithuania and Latvia.
Laima 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 Laima reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
