Auther — boys' name

What the Data Says About Auther

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,349 babies named Auther between 1880 and 1989, spanning 110 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Auther currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1989. The name reached its historical peak in 1926, when 68 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Auther performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 560 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Auther shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Alabama, which accounts for 194 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Georgia and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Auther in 13 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Auther 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 2,349 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
