Delmas — boys' name

What the Data Says About Delmas

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,258 babies named Delmas between 1906 and 2003, spanning 98 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Delmas performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 613 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Delmas shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in West Virginia, which accounts for 341 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Virginia and Kentucky. In total, SSA state-level files list Delmas in 9 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Delmas 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 2,258 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
