Hodges — boys' name

What the Data Says About Hodges

The Social Security Administration has registered 237 babies named Hodges between 1917 and 2017, spanning 101 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Hodges currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2017. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 14 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Hodges performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 74 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Hodges shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Hodges 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 237 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
