Candi — girls' name

What the Data Says About Candi

The Social Security Administration has registered 7,356 babies named Candi between 1944 and 2022, spanning 79 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Candi currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 1980, when 360 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Candi performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 2,206 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Candi shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 727 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Candi in 34 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Candi 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 7,356 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
