Canada — girls' name

What the Data Says About Canada

The Social Security Administration has registered 54 babies named Canada between 1973 and 2010, spanning 38 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Canada currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 1975, when 6 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Canada performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 33 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Canada shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Canada 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 54 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
