By Year

Pick a year to see the top 100 names and total US births recorded.

Browse rankings from 1880 to 2025, enter any year in the search above or visit 1880 through 2025.

Methodology

Every page reachable from this directory renders data from the U.S. Social Security Administration's public baby-name release, the national annual file (1880-2025) and state-level files (1910-2025). Name-profile pages pull a single record; letter, decade, year, and state pages run aggregate queries against the same database.

Inclusion threshold: The SSA excludes any name with fewer than five occurrences in a given year (or state-year) to protect individual privacy. Rare and emerging names do not appear in our listings until they cross that threshold.

Spelling variants are counted separately: The SSA treats each spelling as its own entry, and we follow the same convention. Sophia and Sofia, Aiden and Ayden appear as four different names.

Directory coverage: A-Z letter pages list every name beginning with that letter. Decade pages aggregate annual births across a ten-year window. Year pages show the single-year top 100. State pages cumulate state-year records from 1910 onward.

Updates: The SSA typically releases the previous year's file each May. We rebuild the database within 30 days of each release.
