Nebraska — boys' name

What the Data Says About Nebraska

The Social Security Administration has registered 43 babies named Nebraska between 1914 and 1954, spanning 41 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Nebraska currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1954. The name reached its historical peak in 1927, when 6 babies received it in a single year. Nebraska is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 42 additional births since 1908.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Nebraska performed strongest in the 1930s, accumulating 12 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Nebraska shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Nebraska 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 43 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
