Kiev — boys' name

What the Data Says About Kiev

The Social Security Administration has registered 74 babies named Kiev between 1986 and 2010, spanning 25 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Kiev currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2010. The name reached its historical peak in 2000, when 9 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kiev performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 44 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Kiev shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kiev 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 74 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
