Excel — unisex name

What the Data Says About Excel

The Social Security Administration has registered 25 babies named Excel between 2014 and 2020, spanning 7 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Excel currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 2014, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Excel is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 24 additional births since 1922.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Excel performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 19 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Excel shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Excel 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 25 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
