Alean — girls' name

What the Data Says About Alean

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,098 babies named Alean between 1899 and 2013, spanning 115 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Alean currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2013. The name reached its historical peak in 1927, when 40 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Alean performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 317 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Alean shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Mississippi, which accounts for 70 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Alabama and Arkansas. In total, SSA state-level files list Alean in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Alean 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 1,098 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
