What the Data Says About Teena

The Social Security Administration has registered 5,746 babies named Teena between 1928 and 2014, spanning 87 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Teena currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2014. The name reached its historical peak in 1956, when 322 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Teena performed strongest in the 1950s, accumulating 1,787 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Teena shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 400 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Illinois. In total, SSA state-level files list Teena in 32 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Teena 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 5,746 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
