What the Data Says About Almeda

The Social Security Administration has registered 4,402 babies named Almeda between 1880 and 1998, spanning 119 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Almeda performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 1,051 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Almeda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 312 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Ohio and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Almeda in 27 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Almeda 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 4,402 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
