What the Data Says About Kawana

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kawana performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 503 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Kawana shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 62 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Louisiana and Georgia. In total, SSA state-level files list Kawana in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kawana 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 960 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
