As a girl's name, Nanda currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1982. The name reached its historical peak in 1976, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Nanda is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 2004.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Nanda performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 32 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Nanda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Nanda 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 65 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
