Math — boys' name

What the Data Says About Math

The Social Security Administration has registered 100 babies named Math between 1880 and 1934, spanning 55 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Math currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1934. The name reached its historical peak in 1915, when 9 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Math performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 30 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Math shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Math 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 100 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
