As a girl's name, Gladyes currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1934. The name reached its historical peak in 1920, when 11 babies received it in a single year.

No etymological entry is currently available for Gladyes 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 112 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
