What the Data Says About Marris

As a boy's name, Marris currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1972. The name reached its historical peak in 1940, when 8 babies received it in a single year. Marris is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 6 additional births since 1998.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Marris performed strongest in the 1930s, accumulating 16 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Marris shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Marris 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 62 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
