What the Data Says About Elvis

The Social Security Administration has registered 17,824 babies named Elvis between 1881 and 2024, spanning 144 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Elvis currently holds the #1169 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1957, when 605 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Elvis performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 2,930 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Elvis shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 2,388 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Elvis in 37 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Elvis 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 17,824 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
