Elesa — girls' name

What the Data Says About Elesa

The Social Security Administration has registered 216 babies named Elesa between 1947 and 2018, spanning 72 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Elesa currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2018. The name reached its historical peak in 1963, when 15 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Elesa performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 81 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Elesa shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Elesa 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 216 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
