Heli — unisex name

What the Data Says About Heli

The Social Security Administration has registered 130 babies named Heli between 1997 and 2020, spanning 24 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Heli currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 2005, when 11 babies received it in a single year. Heli is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 15 additional births since 1993.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Heli performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 68 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Heli shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Heli 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 130 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
