What the Data Says About Almeta

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,241 babies named Almeta between 1884 and 1988, spanning 105 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Almeta performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 549 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Almeta shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in South Carolina, which accounts for 276 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by North Carolina and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Almeta in 13 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Almeta 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 2,241 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
