Sonda — girls' name

What the Data Says About Sonda

The Social Security Administration has registered 717 babies named Sonda between 1937 and 1989, spanning 53 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Sonda currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1989. The name reached its historical peak in 1966, when 43 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sonda performed strongest in the 1960s, accumulating 281 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Sonda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 17 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Sonda in 4 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sonda 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 717 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
