Rubens — boys' name

What the Data Says About Rubens

The Social Security Administration has registered 159 babies named Rubens between 1983 and 2022, spanning 40 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Rubens currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2022. The name reached its historical peak in 2016, when 15 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Rubens performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 74 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Rubens shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Florida, which accounts for 10 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Rubens in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Rubens 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 159 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
