What the Data Says About Kathie

The Social Security Administration has registered 15,086 babies named Kathie between 1918 and 2020, spanning 103 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Kathie currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 1954, when 948 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kathie performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 7,066 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Kathie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 1,492 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Ohio and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Kathie in 46 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kathie 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 15,086 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
