Dieter — boys' name

What the Data Says About Dieter

The Social Security Administration has registered 916 babies named Dieter between 1953 and 2023, spanning 71 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Dieter currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1967, when 36 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dieter performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 276 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Dieter shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 67 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Dieter in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dieter 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 916 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
