Alberta — #10241 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Alberta

The Social Security Administration has registered 70,355 babies named Alberta between 1880 and 2024, spanning 145 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Alberta currently holds the #10241 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1919, when 2,017 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Alberta performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 17,861 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Alberta shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 5,509 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Ohio and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Alberta in 50 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Alberta 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 70,355 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
