Lehman — boys' name

What the Data Says About Lehman

The Social Security Administration has registered 974 babies named Lehman between 1892 and 2003, spanning 112 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Lehman performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 230 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Lehman shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Alabama, which accounts for 11 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Arkansas and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Lehman in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lehman 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 974 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
