Lemma — girls' name

What the Data Says About Lemma

The Social Security Administration has registered 262 babies named Lemma between 1880 and 1948, spanning 69 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Lemma currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1948. The name reached its historical peak in 1918, when 13 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Lemma performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 82 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Lemma shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lemma 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 262 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
