Java — boys' name

What the Data Says About Java

The Social Security Administration has registered 20 babies named Java between 1969 and 1980, spanning 12 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Java currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1980. The name reached its historical peak in 1969, when 7 babies received it in a single year. Java is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 17 additional births since 1978.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Java performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 7 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Java shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Java 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 20 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
