What the Data Says About Deloise

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,887 babies named Deloise between 1916 and 1979, spanning 64 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Deloise performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 619 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Deloise shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Mississippi, which accounts for 257 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Alabama and North Carolina. In total, SSA state-level files list Deloise in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Deloise 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 1,887 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
