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.
