Decade-level aggregation shows that Randel performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 1,104 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Randel shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 259 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Kentucky. In total, SSA state-level files list Randel in 22 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Randel 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 3,651 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
