Sundance — boys' name

What the Data Says About Sundance

The Social Security Administration has registered 65 babies named Sundance between 1971 and 1996, spanning 26 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Sundance currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1996. The name reached its historical peak in 1978, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Sundance is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 10 additional births since 1977.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Sundance performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 49 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Sundance shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Sundance 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 65 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
