Mirl — boys' name

What the Data Says About Mirl

The Social Security Administration has registered 87 babies named Mirl between 1913 and 1942, spanning 30 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Mirl currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1942. The name reached its historical peak in 1913, when 8 babies received it in a single year. Mirl is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 55 additional births since 1913.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Mirl performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 39 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Mirl shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Mirl 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 87 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
