What the Data Says About Herta

As a girl's name, Herta currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1939. The name reached its historical peak in 1931, when 10 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Herta performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 34 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Herta shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Herta 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 87 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
