What the Data Says About Potter

As a boy's name, Potter currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2018. The name reached its historical peak in 2018, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Potter is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 2013.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Potter performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 20 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Potter 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 20 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
