Eritrea — girls' name

What the Data Says About Eritrea

The Social Security Administration has registered 11 babies named Eritrea between 1991 and 2021, spanning 31 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Eritrea currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 2021, when 6 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Eritrea performed strongest in the 2020s, accumulating 6 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Eritrea shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Eritrea 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 11 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
