Amerika — girls' name

What the Data Says About Amerika

The Social Security Administration has registered 330 babies named Amerika between 1987 and 2025, spanning 39 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Amerika currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2025. The name reached its historical peak in 2009, when 27 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Amerika performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 147 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Amerika shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 43 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California. In total, SSA state-level files list Amerika in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Amerika 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 330 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
