Nesta — boys' name

What the Data Says About Nesta

The Social Security Administration has registered 108 babies named Nesta between 1995 and 2018, spanning 24 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Nesta currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2018. The name reached its historical peak in 2014, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Nesta is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 99 additional births since 1928.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Nesta performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 58 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Nesta shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Nesta 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 108 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
