Nacole — girls' name

What the Data Says About Nacole

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,018 babies named Nacole between 1965 and 2012, spanning 48 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Nacole currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2012. The name reached its historical peak in 1979, when 73 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Nacole performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 447 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Nacole shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 50 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Nacole in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Nacole 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 1,018 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
