What the Data Says About Modena

The Social Security Administration has registered 683 babies named Modena between 1882 and 1958, spanning 77 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Modena performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 212 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Modena shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 76 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Mississippi and Arkansas. In total, SSA state-level files list Modena in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Modena 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 683 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
