What the Data Says About Candra

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,815 babies named Candra between 1946 and 2013, spanning 68 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Candra performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 677 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Candra shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 104 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Candra in 14 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Candra 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 1,815 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
