Eola — girls' name

What the Data Says About Eola

The Social Security Administration has registered 740 babies named Eola between 1880 and 1956, spanning 77 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Eola currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1956. The name reached its historical peak in 1922, when 37 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Eola performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 208 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Eola shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Louisiana, which accounts for 124 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Mississippi and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Eola in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Eola 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 740 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
