Min — boys' name

What the Data Says About Min

The Social Security Administration has registered 395 babies named Min between 1971 and 2018, spanning 48 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Min currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2018. The name reached its historical peak in 1994, when 20 babies received it in a single year. Min is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 243 additional births since 1953.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Min performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 137 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Min shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 20 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Maryland. In total, SSA state-level files list Min in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Min 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 395 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
