Mart — boys' name

What the Data Says About Mart

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,039 babies named Mart between 1880 and 2006, spanning 127 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Mart currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2006. The name reached its historical peak in 1958, when 28 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Mart performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 180 births during that ten-year window. Across the 13 decades of recorded activity, Mart shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 12 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Mart in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Mart 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 1,039 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
