What the Data Says About Creola

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,742 babies named Creola between 1880 and 1984, spanning 105 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Creola performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 475 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Creola shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Alabama, which accounts for 204 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by South Carolina and North Carolina. In total, SSA state-level files list Creola in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Creola 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 1,742 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
