A modern American baby name in the broader Sami Indigenous heritage aesthetic.

Notable bearer: Biret Mátta — foundational Sami foundational figure; Biret Anne Sara — foundational Sami visual artist + foundational Documenta 14 (Kassel 2017) representative + foundational Pile o' Sápmi installation protesting Norwegian reindeer culling. Foundational subject of foundational Sami Parliament (Sámediggi in Norway 1989, Sweden 1993, Finland 1996) + foundational pan-Sami cultural revival + foundational Joik traditional singing heritage. Foundational Sami feminine name reflecting Indigenous Sápmi heritage.

Biret 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.
