Crete — girls' name

What the Data Says About Crete

The Social Security Administration has registered 14 babies named Crete between 1881 and 1882, spanning 2 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Crete currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1882. The name reached its historical peak in 1882, when 8 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Crete performed strongest in the 1880s, accumulating 14 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Crete 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 14 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
