Le — unisex name

What the Data Says About Le

The Social Security Administration has registered 878 babies named Le between 1916 and 2006, spanning 91 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Le currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2006. The name reached its historical peak in 1982, when 35 babies received it in a single year. Le is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 775 additional births since 1888.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Le performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 204 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Le shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 51 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Indiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Le in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Le 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 878 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
