Ferry — boys' name

What the Data Says About Ferry

The Social Security Administration has registered 65 babies named Ferry between 1919 and 1960, spanning 42 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Ferry currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1960. The name reached its historical peak in 1926, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Ferry is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 10 additional births since 1952.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ferry performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 29 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Ferry shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ferry 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 65 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
