Naw — girls' name

What the Data Says About Naw

The Social Security Administration has registered 113 babies named Naw between 2009 and 2023, spanning 15 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Naw currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2017, when 17 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Naw performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 95 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Naw shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Naw 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 113 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
