What the Data Says About Melodye

Decade-level aggregation shows that Melodye performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 385 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Melodye shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 27 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Melodye in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Melodye 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 816 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
