Kym — unisex name

What the Data Says About Kym

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,297 babies named Kym between 1950 and 2003, spanning 54 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Kym currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2003. The name reached its historical peak in 1959, when 98 babies received it in a single year. Kym is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 173 additional births since 1953.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Kym performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 610 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Kym shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 175 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Kym in 10 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Kym 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 1,297 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
