Tiny is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 161 additional births since 1915.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Tiny performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 421 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Tiny shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Georgia, which accounts for 144 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Alabama. In total, SSA state-level files list Tiny in 11 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Tiny 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 2,087 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
