Fair — unisex name

What the Data Says About Fair

The Social Security Administration has registered 41 babies named Fair between 1907 and 1928, spanning 22 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Fair currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1928. The name reached its historical peak in 1924, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Fair is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 1914.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Fair performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 30 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Fair shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Fair 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 41 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
