Oneida — girls' name

What the Data Says About Oneida

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,268 babies named Oneida between 1887 and 2023, spanning 137 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Oneida currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1919, when 63 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Oneida performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 425 births during that ten-year window. Across the 15 decades of recorded activity, Oneida shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 194 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Kentucky. In total, SSA state-level files list Oneida in 14 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Oneida 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 2,268 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
