Beyonce — girls' name

What the Data Says About Beyonce

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,970 babies named Beyonce between 1998 and 2022, spanning 25 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Beyonce currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 2001, when 353 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Beyonce performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 1,666 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Beyonce shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 286 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Beyonce in 26 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Beyonce 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 1,970 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
