Odene — unisex name

What the Data Says About Odene

The Social Security Administration has registered 36 babies named Odene between 1918 and 1930, spanning 13 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Odene currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1930. The name reached its historical peak in 1919, when 8 babies received it in a single year. Odene is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 1922.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Odene performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 17 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Odene shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Odene 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 36 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
