Loma — girls' name

What the Data Says About Loma

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,289 babies named Loma between 1880 and 2023, spanning 144 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Loma currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 74 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Loma performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 532 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Loma shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 207 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Tennessee and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Loma in 14 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Loma 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 2,289 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
