There’s no shortage of actresses in Hollywood these days. In fact, they come from all parts of the United States and all over the world. The movie industry makes a point of being as diverse in casting as it possibly can be.

So, it might come as a surprise that quite a few celebrities that all share one thing in common—their names. From actors to singers to models, numerous women in Hollywood go by the name “Jennifer.”

All of the Jennifers in Hollywood have created successful careers for themselves by capitalizing on their talents. Some have won Grammys, Golden Globes, Oscars, and other prestigious awards.

And the name isn’t just a celebrity trend. The name Jennifer has been a popular first name among females in English-speaking countries during the 1900s, and it has been used since the 1700s. It has even earned a spot on the US government’s list of 1,000 most popular newborn baby girl names.
