Feliz — unisex name

What the Data Says About Feliz

The Social Security Administration has registered 380 babies named Feliz between 1901 and 2015, spanning 115 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Feliz currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2015. The name reached its historical peak in 1978, when 13 babies received it in a single year. Feliz is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 290 additional births since 1920.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Feliz performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 64 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Feliz shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 100 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New Mexico. In total, SSA state-level files list Feliz in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Feliz 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 380 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
