U.S. Baby Names and Popularity History Database
Research 104,819 name spellings across more than 2,151,477 annual name, sex, and birth-year observations from 1880 through 2025.
From a name list to a research-ready history
Compare lifetime usage, first and last appearance, peak year, peak rank, recent counts, current rank, year-over-year change, and long-term sex-use patterns. The normalized annual table supports trend charts, search tools, naming applications, editorial projects, and historical research without flattening repeated years into a single field.
Important coverage notes
Names below the government privacy threshold are not published. The 2025 layer includes the published top 1,000 names per sex, so a blank 2025 value means not present in that ranked layer, not zero births. Historical meanings and origins are retained only when matched to verified Oddity material and are clearly labeled historical rather than current government facts.
