What the Data Says About Neco

The Social Security Administration has registered 187 babies named Neco between 1971 and 2023, spanning 53 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Neco currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1989, when 13 babies received it in a single year. Neco is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 38 additional births since 1969.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Neco performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 68 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Neco shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Neco 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 187 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
