What the Data Says About Sallye

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,067 babies named Sallye between 1888 and 1983, spanning 96 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sallye performed strongest in the 1940s, accumulating 249 births during that ten-year window. Across the 11 decades of recorded activity, Sallye shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 59 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Tennessee and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Sallye in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sallye 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 1,067 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
