What the Data Says About Dawne

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,603 babies named Dawne between 1926 and 1994, spanning 69 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dawne performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 1,018 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Dawne shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 196 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Dawne in 18 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dawne 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 2,603 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
