What the Data Says About Azure

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,657 babies named Azure between 1975 and 2024, spanning 50 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Azure currently holds the #4801 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1975, when 121 babies received it in a single year. Azure is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 412 additional births since 1997.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Azure performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 398 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Azure shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 100 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Indiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Azure in 12 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Azure 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 1,657 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
