Eliga — boys' name

What the Data Says About Eliga

As a boy's name, Eliga currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1948. The name reached its historical peak in 1917, when 23 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Eliga performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 125 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Eliga shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Mississippi, which accounts for 10 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Alabama and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Eliga in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Eliga 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 434 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
