Across the 14 decades of recorded activity, Deloris shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in South Carolina, which accounts for 2,167 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by West Virginia and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Deloris in 40 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Deloris 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 34,683 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
