Ebone — girls' name

What the Data Says About Ebone

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,182 babies named Ebone between 1974 and 2003, spanning 30 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Ebone currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2003. The name reached its historical peak in 1993, when 98 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ebone performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 548 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Ebone shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 60 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and North Carolina. In total, SSA state-level files list Ebone in 18 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ebone 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 1,182 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
