Allene — girls' name

What the Data Says About Allene

The Social Security Administration has registered 8,755 babies named Allene between 1881 and 2020, spanning 140 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Allene currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 1926, when 317 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Allene performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 2,505 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Allene shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Georgia, which accounts for 713 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Kentucky. In total, SSA state-level files list Allene in 28 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Allene 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 8,755 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
