Christ — #3777 US boys' name

What the Data Says About Christ

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,940 babies named Christ between 1880 and 2024, spanning 145 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Christ currently holds the #3777 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1923, when 69 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Christ performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 565 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Christ shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Illinois, which accounts for 418 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Pennsylvania and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Christ in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Christ 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 3,940 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
