Ger — boys' name

What the Data Says About Ger

The Social Security Administration has registered 385 babies named Ger between 1980 and 2006, spanning 27 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Ger currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2006. The name reached its historical peak in 1991, when 33 babies received it in a single year. Ger is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 88 additional births since 1981.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ger performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 226 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Ger shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 170 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Minnesota and Wisconsin. In total, SSA state-level files list Ger in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ger 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 385 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
