What the Data Says About Laverna

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,733 babies named Laverna between 1889 and 1985, spanning 97 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Laverna performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 1,051 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Laverna shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Nebraska, which accounts for 173 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Kansas and Wisconsin. In total, SSA state-level files list Laverna in 22 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Laverna 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 3,733 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
