Morgen is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 592 additional births since 1973.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Morgen performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 631 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Morgen shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 81 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Morgen in 14 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Morgen 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 1,855 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
