Coretha — girls' name

What the Data Says About Coretha

The Social Security Administration has registered 505 babies named Coretha between 1914 and 1988, spanning 75 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Coretha currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1988. The name reached its historical peak in 1925, when 19 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Coretha performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 113 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Coretha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Florida, which accounts for 23 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Georgia. In total, SSA state-level files list Coretha in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Coretha 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 505 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
