Genia — girls' name

What the Data Says About Genia

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,673 babies named Genia between 1886 and 2020, spanning 135 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Genia currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 1964, when 57 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Genia performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 463 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Genia shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 34 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and North Carolina. In total, SSA state-level files list Genia in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Genia 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 1,673 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
