Brookes — boys' name

What the Data Says About Brookes

The Social Security Administration has registered 108 babies named Brookes between 1979 and 2023, spanning 45 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Brookes currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1982, when 17 babies received it in a single year. Brookes is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 44 additional births since 1979.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Brookes performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 55 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Brookes shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Brookes 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 108 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
