What the Data Says About Misti

The Social Security Administration has registered 8,324 babies named Misti between 1952 and 2016, spanning 65 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Misti currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2016. The name reached its historical peak in 1975, when 521 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Misti performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 4,204 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Misti shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 1,582 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Misti in 38 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Misti 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 8,324 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
