Gladys’s history and overall profile

Gladys is a feminine name that gained popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States, but has since become less common. It was intentionally created by Henry James in 1889 for his novel *The Bostonians*, designed to sound Welsh without being traditionally Welsh. Globally, it sees limited use, primarily in areas with British cultural influence and some Latin American countries. The name evokes a vintage charm and a sense of quiet strength, often associated with a thoughtful and reliable personality. It is almost exclusively used for females, with no significant male usage recorded. Its history is unique, being a deliberately constructed name rather than one with ancient roots.
