What the Data Says About Denyse

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,329 babies named Denyse between 1927 and 2017, spanning 91 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Denyse performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 306 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Denyse shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 125 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Massachusetts. In total, SSA state-level files list Denyse in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Denyse 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 1,329 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
