Brandis — unisex name

What the Data Says About Brandis

The Social Security Administration has registered 730 babies named Brandis between 1971 and 2013, spanning 43 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Brandis currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2013. The name reached its historical peak in 1981, when 112 babies received it in a single year. Brandis is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 84 additional births since 1980.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Brandis performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 482 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Brandis shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Ohio, which accounts for 24 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Brandis in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Brandis 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 730 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
