Karren — girls' name

What the Data Says About Karren

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,177 babies named Karren between 1920 and 2010, spanning 91 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Karren currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 1943, when 100 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Karren performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 698 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Karren shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 129 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Utah. In total, SSA state-level files list Karren in 17 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Karren 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 2,177 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
