What the Data Says About Khayla

The Social Security Administration has registered 808 babies named Khayla between 1987 and 2020, spanning 34 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Khayla currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2020. The name reached its historical peak in 2000, when 59 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Khayla performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 353 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Khayla shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 23 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Georgia. In total, SSA state-level files list Khayla in 9 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Khayla 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 808 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
