What the Data Says About Shiro

The Social Security Administration has registered 208 babies named Shiro between 1915 and 2023, spanning 109 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Shiro currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 1922, when 20 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Shiro performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 120 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Shiro shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Hawaii, which accounts for 63 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California. In total, SSA state-level files list Shiro in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Shiro 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 208 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
