Khush — boys' name

What the Data Says About Khush

The Social Security Administration has registered 142 babies named Khush between 2002 and 2023, spanning 22 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Khush currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2005, when 12 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Khush performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 65 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Khush shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Khush 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 142 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
