What the Data Says About Mardi

The Social Security Administration has registered 868 babies named Mardi between 1941 and 2009, spanning 69 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Mardi performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 251 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Mardi shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 48 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Washington and Michigan. In total, SSA state-level files list Mardi in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Mardi 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 868 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
