Deep — boys' name

What the Data Says About Deep

The Social Security Administration has registered 352 babies named Deep between 1988 and 2015, spanning 28 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Deep currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2015. The name reached its historical peak in 2000, when 29 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Deep performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 158 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Deep shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New Jersey, which accounts for 49 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Illinois and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Deep in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Deep 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 352 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
