What the Data Says About Quanta

The Social Security Administration has registered 93 babies named Quanta between 1976 and 1990, spanning 15 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Quanta currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1990. The name reached its historical peak in 1978, when 14 babies received it in a single year. Quanta is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 70 additional births since 1977.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Quanta performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 46 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Quanta shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Quanta 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 93 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
