Rajesh — boys' name

What the Data Says About Rajesh

The Social Security Administration has registered 683 babies named Rajesh between 1965 and 2013, spanning 49 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Rajesh currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2013. The name reached its historical peak in 1976, when 43 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Rajesh performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 319 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Rajesh shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 126 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Indiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Rajesh in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Rajesh 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 683 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
