Marye — girls' name

What the Data Says About Marye

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,557 babies named Marye between 1890 and 2019, spanning 130 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Marye currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 1920, when 47 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Marye performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 372 births during that ten-year window. Across the 13 decades of recorded activity, Marye shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 61 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Tennessee and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Marye in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Marye 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 1,557 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
