What the Data Says About Kandi

The Social Security Administration has registered 5,547 babies named Kandi between 1945 and 2018, spanning 74 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Kandi currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2018. The name reached its historical peak in 1981, when 202 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kandi performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 1,608 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Kandi shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 454 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Kandi in 34 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kandi 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 5,547 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
