What the Data Says About Erminia

Decade-level aggregation shows that Erminia performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 348 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Erminia shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 397 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and New Mexico. In total, SSA state-level files list Erminia in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Erminia 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 1,497 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
