Germane — boys' name

What the Data Says About Germane

The Social Security Administration has registered 12 babies named Germane between 1972 and 1973, spanning 2 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Germane currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1973. The name reached its historical peak in 1973, when 7 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Germane performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 12 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Germane 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 12 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
