What the Data Says About Gerri

The Social Security Administration has registered 5,446 babies named Gerri between 1925 and 2010, spanning 86 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Gerri currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 1958, when 226 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Gerri performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 1,780 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Gerri shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 408 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Gerri in 32 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Gerri 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 5,446 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
