What the Data Says About Fonda

Decade-level aggregation shows that Fonda performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 1,331 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Fonda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in North Carolina, which accounts for 202 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Fonda in 26 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Fonda 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 4,112 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
