Mata — girls' name

What the Data Says About Mata

The Social Security Administration has registered 137 babies named Mata between 1885 and 1969, spanning 85 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Mata currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1969. The name reached its historical peak in 1953, when 10 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Mata performed strongest in the 1890s, accumulating 38 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Mata shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Mata 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 137 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
