Palestine — girls' name

What the Data Says About Palestine

The Social Security Administration has registered 169 babies named Palestine between 1915 and 1957, spanning 43 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Palestine currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1957. The name reached its historical peak in 1942, when 12 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Palestine performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 49 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Palestine shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Palestine 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 169 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
