Kenyah — girls' name

What the Data Says About Kenyah

The Social Security Administration has registered 415 babies named Kenyah between 1994 and 2023, spanning 30 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Kenyah currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2007, when 30 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kenyah performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 191 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Kenyah shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Florida, which accounts for 6 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Kenyah in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kenyah 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 415 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
