What the Data Says About Alexes

The Social Security Administration has registered 700 babies named Alexes between 1976 and 2011, spanning 36 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Alexes currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2011. The name reached its historical peak in 1994, when 53 babies received it in a single year. Alexes is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 139 additional births since 1993.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Alexes performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 369 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Alexes shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 75 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Alexes in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Alexes 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 700 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
