As a boy's name, Hursel currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1930. The name reached its historical peak in 1926, when 11 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Hursel performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 23 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Hursel shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Hursel 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 40 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
