Dakar — boys' name

What the Data Says About Dakar

As a boy's name, Dakar currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1999. The name reached its historical peak in 1970, when 6 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dakar performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 17 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Dakar shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dakar 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 28 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
