Thyme is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 6 additional births since 2019.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Thyme performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 20 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Thyme shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Thyme 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 58 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
