What the Data Says About Earma

As a girl's name, Earma currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1966. The name reached its historical peak in 1938, when 24 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Earma performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 159 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Earma shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Arkansas, which accounts for 52 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Earma in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Earma 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 601 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
