Eartha — girls' name

What the Data Says About Eartha

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,920 babies named Eartha between 1905 and 2020, spanning 116 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Eartha currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 1955, when 108 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Eartha performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 744 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Eartha shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in South Carolina, which accounts for 1,074 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Florida and Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Eartha in 16 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Eartha 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 2,920 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
