Dae — boys' name

What the Data Says About Dae

The Social Security Administration has registered 122 babies named Dae between 1978 and 2021, spanning 44 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Dae currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 2000, when 12 babies received it in a single year. Dae is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 63 additional births since 1957.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dae performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 58 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Dae shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dae 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 122 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
