What the Data Says About Angle

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,149 babies named Angle between 1945 and 2016, spanning 72 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Angle currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2016. The name reached its historical peak in 1975, when 52 babies received it in a single year. Angle is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 130 additional births since 1958.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Angle performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 382 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Angle shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Illinois, which accounts for 17 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Mississippi and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Angle in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Angle 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 1,149 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
