Loys — boys' name

What the Data Says About Loys

The Social Security Administration has registered 193 babies named Loys between 1912 and 1965, spanning 54 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Loys currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1965. The name reached its historical peak in 1922, when 14 babies received it in a single year. Loys is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 139 additional births since 1912.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Loys performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 79 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Loys shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Loys 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 193 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
