What the Data Says About Krishna

As a boy's name, Krishna currently holds the #2400 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2007, when 85 babies received it in a single year. Krishna is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 1,890 additional births since 1958.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Krishna performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 673 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Krishna shows notable generational variation in parental adoption. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 309 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and New Jersey. In total, SSA state-level files list Krishna in 13 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Krishna 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 2,316 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
