Marilynne — girls' name

What the Data Says About Marilynne

The Social Security Administration has registered 968 babies named Marilynne between 1921 and 2013, spanning 93 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Marilynne currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2013. The name reached its historical peak in 1946, when 56 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Marilynne performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 375 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Marilynne shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 43 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Illinois and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Marilynne in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Marilynne 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 968 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
