What the Data Says About Stav

The Social Security Administration has registered 21 babies named Stav between 1997 and 2008, spanning 12 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Stav currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2008. The name reached its historical peak in 2000, when 6 babies received it in a single year. Stav is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 19 additional births since 2001.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Stav performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 16 births during that ten-year window. Across the 2 decades of recorded activity, Stav shows a stable profile with only moderate drift from its peak decade.

No etymological entry is currently available for Stav 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 21 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
