An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made.
Where are babies named Novaleigh born?
The states with the most babies named Novaleigh are Texas, Kentucky and Alabama, with 81% of its births recorded by state in 2025; Kentucky and Alabama are not among the ten states with the most births.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Novaleigh with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
