What the Data Says About Clovis

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,070 babies named Clovis between 1880 and 2024, spanning 145 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Clovis currently holds the #7228 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1917, when 84 babies received it in a single year. Clovis is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 627 additional births since 1910.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Clovis performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 653 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Clovis shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 410 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Louisiana and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Clovis in 14 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Clovis 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 3,070 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
