Kore — boys' name

What the Data Says About Kore

The Social Security Administration has registered 77 babies named Kore between 1977 and 2022, spanning 46 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Kore currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 2005, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Kore is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 12 additional births since 2021.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kore performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 28 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Kore shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kore 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 77 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
