Elois — girls' name

What the Data Says About Elois

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,642 babies named Elois between 1895 and 1976, spanning 82 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Elois currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1976. The name reached its historical peak in 1935, when 75 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Elois performed strongest in the 1930s, accumulating 637 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Elois shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Mississippi, which accounts for 220 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Elois in 15 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Elois 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 2,642 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
