Earth — unisex name

What the Data Says About Earth

The Social Security Administration has registered 38 babies named Earth between 1974 and 2023, spanning 50 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Earth currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1974, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Earth is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 11 additional births since 2020.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Earth performed strongest in the 2020s, accumulating 19 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Earth shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Earth 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 38 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
