What the Data Says About Glynis

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,014 babies named Glynis between 1939 and 2008, spanning 70 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Glynis performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 1,131 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Glynis shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 132 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Glynis in 24 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Glynis 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 2,014 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
