Bar — boys' name

What the Data Says About Bar

The Social Security Administration has registered 27 babies named Bar between 1996 and 2020, spanning 25 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Bar currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 2011, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Bar is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 23 additional births since 2006.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Bar performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 17 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Bar shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Bar 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 27 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
