Syria — #15528 US girls' name

What the Data Says About Syria

The Social Security Administration has registered 567 babies named Syria between 1948 and 2024, spanning 77 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Syria currently holds the #15528 rank among girls for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 2004, when 41 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Syria performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 260 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Syria shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Florida, which accounts for 23 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and California. In total, SSA state-level files list Syria in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Syria 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 567 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
