Icy — girls' name

What the Data Says About Icy

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,095 babies named Icy between 1880 and 2021, spanning 142 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Icy currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 1899, when 28 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Icy performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 212 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Icy shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in West Virginia, which accounts for 13 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Icy in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Icy 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 1,095 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
