What the Data Says About Meru

As a boy's name, Meru currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 2016, when 5 babies received it in a single year. Meru is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 2019.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Meru performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 10 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Meru 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 10 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
