Inge — girls' name

What the Data Says About Inge

The Social Security Administration has registered 717 babies named Inge between 1924 and 2021, spanning 98 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Inge currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2021. The name reached its historical peak in 1967, when 30 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Inge performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 217 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Inge shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 75 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and New Jersey. In total, SSA state-level files list Inge in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Inge 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 717 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
