Decade-level aggregation shows that Mammie performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 573 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Mammie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Mississippi, which accounts for 186 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Alabama and Georgia. In total, SSA state-level files list Mammie in 13 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Mammie 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 2,523 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
