Avid — boys' name

What the Data Says About Avid

As a boy's name, Avid currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 1982, when 16 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Avid performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 121 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Avid shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Avid 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 232 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
