Minda — girls' name

What the Data Says About Minda

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,600 babies named Minda between 1880 and 2023, spanning 144 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Minda currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1951, when 38 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Minda performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 307 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Minda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 17 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Minda in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Minda 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 1,600 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
