Danish — #7921 US boys' name

What the Data Says About Danish

The Social Security Administration has registered 417 babies named Danish between 1983 and 2024, spanning 42 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Danish currently holds the #7921 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2003, when 20 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Danish performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 125 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Danish shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 10 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Danish in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Danish 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 417 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
