Seoul — unisex name

What the Data Says About Seoul

The Social Security Administration has registered 10 babies named Seoul between 2022 and 2023, spanning 2 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Seoul currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2022, when 5 babies received it in a single year. Seoul is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 9 additional births since 2024.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Seoul performed strongest in the 2020s, accumulating 10 births during that ten-year window.

No etymological entry is currently available for Seoul 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 10 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
