What the Data Says About Sande

The Social Security Administration has registered 258 babies named Sande between 1940 and 1974, spanning 35 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Sande currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1974. The name reached its historical peak in 1958, when 15 babies received it in a single year. Sande is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 16 additional births since 1951.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sande performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 101 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Sande shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sande 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 258 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
