Ikea — girls' name

What the Data Says About Ikea

The Social Security Administration has registered 580 babies named Ikea between 1985 and 2012, spanning 28 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Ikea currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2012. The name reached its historical peak in 1989, when 72 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ikea performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 321 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Ikea shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Pennsylvania, which accounts for 67 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Maryland and District of Columbia. In total, SSA state-level files list Ikea in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ikea 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 580 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
