Leather — girls' name

What the Data Says About Leather

The Social Security Administration has registered 195 babies named Leather between 1900 and 1989, spanning 90 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Leather currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1989. The name reached its historical peak in 1913, when 11 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Leather performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 71 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Leather shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Leather 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 195 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
