Simpson — boys' name

What the Data Says About Simpson

Decade-level aggregation shows that Simpson performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 148 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Simpson shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in South Carolina, which accounts for 10 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Simpson in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Simpson 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 707 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
