Montreal — #7857 US boys' name

What the Data Says About Montreal

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,108 babies named Montreal between 1969 and 2024, spanning 56 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Montreal currently holds the #7857 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1990, when 50 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Montreal performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 335 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Montreal shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 52 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by North Carolina and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Montreal in 8 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Montreal 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 1,108 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
