Alaska — #2279 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Alaska

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,232 babies named Alaska between 1915 and 2024, spanning 110 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Alaska currently holds the #2279 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2020, when 107 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Alaska performed strongest in the 2020s, accumulating 479 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Alaska shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 52 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Florida. In total, SSA state-level files list Alaska in 16 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Alaska in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 1,232 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
