Retina — girls' name

What the Data Says About Retina

The Social Security Administration has registered 158 babies named Retina between 1959 and 1987, spanning 29 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Retina currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1987. The name reached its historical peak in 1974, when 14 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Retina performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 79 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Retina shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Retina 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 158 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
