What the Data Says About Pamelia

The Social Security Administration has registered 2,229 babies named Pamelia between 1897 and 1985, spanning 89 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Pamelia performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 844 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Pamelia shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 163 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Georgia and Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Pamelia in 18 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Pamelia 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 2,229 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
