Ireland — #1858 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Ireland

The Social Security Administration has registered 6,263 babies named Ireland between 1993 and 2024, spanning 32 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Ireland currently holds the #1858 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2009, when 345 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ireland performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 2,559 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Ireland shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 741 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Florida. In total, SSA state-level files list Ireland in 39 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ireland 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 6,263 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
