Avo — unisex name

What the Data Says About Avo

The Social Security Administration has registered 174 babies named Avo between 1896 and 1936, spanning 41 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Avo currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1936. The name reached its historical peak in 1915, when 13 babies received it in a single year. Avo is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 10 additional births since 2004.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Avo performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 77 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Avo shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Tennessee, which accounts for 10 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Kentucky and Arkansas. In total, SSA state-level files list Avo in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Avo 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 174 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
