Asian — unisex name

What the Data Says About Asian

The Social Security Administration has registered 16 babies named Asian between 1989 and 1993, spanning 5 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Asian currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1993. The name reached its historical peak in 1991, when 6 babies received it in a single year. Asian is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 11 additional births since 1994.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Asian performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 11 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Asian shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Asian 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 16 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
