Kreg — boys' name

What the Data Says About Kreg

The Social Security Administration has registered 914 babies named Kreg between 1948 and 2005, spanning 58 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Kreg currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2005. The name reached its historical peak in 1962, when 38 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kreg performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 303 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Kreg shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Iowa, which accounts for 17 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Ohio and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Kreg in 5 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kreg 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 914 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
