What the Data Says About Cayman

The Social Security Administration has registered 994 babies named Cayman between 1985 and 2024, spanning 40 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Cayman currently holds the #5317 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2006, when 55 babies received it in a single year. Cayman is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 256 additional births since 1992.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Cayman performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 389 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Cayman shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 37 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Florida and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Cayman in 8 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Cayman 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 994 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
