What the Data Says About Song

The Social Security Administration has registered 206 babies named Song between 1957 and 2023, spanning 67 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Song is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 76 additional births since 1969.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Song performed strongest in the 1980s, accumulating 88 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Song shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 36 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Kansas. In total, SSA state-level files list Song in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Song 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 206 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
