Libra — girls' name

What the Data Says About Libra

The Social Security Administration has registered 218 babies named Libra between 1968 and 1984, spanning 17 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Libra currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1984. The name reached its historical peak in 1976, when 33 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Libra performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 194 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Libra shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 7 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Libra in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Libra 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 218 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
