Orma — girls' name

What the Data Says About Orma

The Social Security Administration has registered 699 babies named Orma between 1890 and 1950, spanning 61 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Orma currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1950. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 32 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Orma performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 231 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Orma shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Ohio, which accounts for 10 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Illinois and Pennsylvania. In total, SSA state-level files list Orma in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Orma 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 699 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
