Alexa — #807 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Alexa

The Social Security Administration has registered 131,304 babies named Alexa between 1916 and 2024, spanning 109 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Alexa currently holds the #807 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2006, when 6,117 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Alexa performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 48,112 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Alexa shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 22,789 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Alexa in 51 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Alexa 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 131,304 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
