Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Delinda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 258 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Delinda in 18 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Delinda 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 2,210 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
