Lorentz — boys' name

What the Data Says About Lorentz

The Social Security Administration has registered 23 babies named Lorentz between 1915 and 1934, spanning 20 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Lorentz currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1934. The name reached its historical peak in 1918, when 7 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Lorentz performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 18 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Lorentz shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Lorentz 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 23 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
