What the Data Says About Daeja

The Social Security Administration has registered 745 babies named Daeja between 1991 and 2020, spanning 30 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Daeja currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 2001, when 66 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Daeja performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 369 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Daeja shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 51 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Daeja in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Daeja 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 745 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
