What the Data Says About Huey

The Social Security Administration has registered 7,055 babies named Huey between 1880 and 2024, spanning 145 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Huey currently holds the #2909 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1935, when 494 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Huey performed strongest in the 1930s, accumulating 2,169 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Huey shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Louisiana, which accounts for 2,489 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Alabama and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Huey in 19 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Huey 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 7,055 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
