Ricci — boys' name

What the Data Says About Ricci

The Social Security Administration has registered 879 babies named Ricci between 1944 and 2019, spanning 76 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Ricci currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2019. The name reached its historical peak in 1954, when 94 babies received it in a single year. Ricci is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 854 additional births since 1945.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ricci performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 350 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Ricci shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 73 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Ricci in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ricci 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 879 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
