Gold — unisex name

What the Data Says About Gold

The Social Security Administration has registered 23 babies named Gold between 1919 and 2021, spanning 103 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Gold currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 2020, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Gold is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 16 additional births since 1920.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Gold performed strongest in the 2020s, accumulating 13 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Gold shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Gold 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.
