India — #1352 US girls' name

What the Data Says About India

The Social Security Administration has registered 23,868 babies named India between 1880 and 2024, spanning 145 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, India currently holds the #1352 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2001, when 1,049 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that India performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 6,360 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, India shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Georgia, which accounts for 1,688 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list India in 40 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for India 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 23,868 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
