Aquarius — unisex name

What the Data Says About Aquarius

The Social Security Administration has registered 235 babies named Aquarius between 1970 and 2010, spanning 41 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Aquarius currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 1993, when 17 babies received it in a single year. Aquarius is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 177 additional births since 1971.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Aquarius performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 97 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Aquarius shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Aquarius 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 235 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
