What the Data Says About Rolanda

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,386 babies named Rolanda between 1944 and 2015, spanning 72 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Rolanda currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2015. The name reached its historical peak in 1971, when 176 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Rolanda performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 1,248 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Rolanda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 214 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Rolanda in 25 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Rolanda 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 3,386 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
