Brazil — #5494 US unisex name

What the Data Says About Brazil

The Social Security Administration has registered 624 babies named Brazil between 1989 and 2024, spanning 36 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Brazil currently holds the #5494 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2021, when 38 babies received it in a single year. Brazil is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 63 additional births since 1920.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Brazil performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 255 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Brazil shows notable generational variation in parental adoption. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Michigan, which accounts for 23 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Brazil in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Brazil 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 624 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
