Isis — #1082 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Isis

The Social Security Administration has registered 11,750 babies named Isis between 1901 and 2024, spanning 124 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Isis currently holds the #1082 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2005, when 561 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Isis performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 5,058 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Isis shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 2,063 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Isis in 41 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Isis 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 11,750 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
