What the Data Says About Penrose

The Social Security Administration has registered 21 babies named Penrose between 1914 and 1925, spanning 12 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Penrose currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1925. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 6 babies received it in a single year. Penrose is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 12 additional births since 2014.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Penrose performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 11 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Penrose shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Penrose 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 21 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
