As a girl's name, Gertis currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1927. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Gertis is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 1925.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Gertis performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 18 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Gertis shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Gertis 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 23 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
