Diary — girls' name

What the Data Says About Diary

The Social Security Administration has registered 35 babies named Diary between 2005 and 2021, spanning 17 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Diary currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 2018, when 8 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Diary performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 20 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Diary shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Diary 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 35 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
