Elzie is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 657 additional births since 1884.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Elzie performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 882 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Elzie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Kentucky, which accounts for 341 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Georgia. In total, SSA state-level files list Elzie in 16 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Elzie 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 3,859 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
