As a boy's name, Lish currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1942. The name reached its historical peak in 1889, when 6 babies received it in a single year. Lish is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 7 additional births since 1965.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Lish performed strongest in the 1880s, accumulating 6 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Lish shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lish 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 24 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
