What the Data Says About Dores

The Social Security Administration has registered 18 babies named Dores between 1920 and 1926, spanning 7 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Dores currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1926. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Dores is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 1921.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Dores performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 18 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Dores 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 18 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
