Asia — #1692 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Asia

The Social Security Administration has registered 32,404 babies named Asia between 1945 and 2024, spanning 80 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Asia currently holds the #1692 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1997, when 1,532 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Asia performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 12,656 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Asia shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 2,610 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Asia in 45 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Asia 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 32,404 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
