Malaysia — #858 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Malaysia

The Social Security Administration has registered 10,753 babies named Malaysia between 1987 and 2024, spanning 38 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Malaysia currently holds the #858 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2014, when 822 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Malaysia performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 5,706 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Malaysia shows notable generational variation in parental adoption. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Georgia, which accounts for 856 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Florida and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Malaysia in 36 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Malaysia 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 10,753 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
