Michi — unisex name

What the Data Says About Michi

The Social Security Administration has registered 143 babies named Michi between 1916 and 2015, spanning 100 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Michi currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2015. The name reached its historical peak in 1973, when 23 babies received it in a single year. Michi is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 8 additional births since 2005.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Michi performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 36 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Michi shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 18 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Washington. In total, SSA state-level files list Michi in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Michi 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 143 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
