Man of steel
The name is derived from the Russian word 'stal', meaning steel. It was famously adopted as a revolutionary pseudonym by Joseph Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili to project an image of strength and resilience. In some cultures, particularly in parts of India and Latin America, it is occasionally used as a given name without direct political endorsement.
Fewer than 5 boys were named Stalin in 2025.
