What the Data Says About Toya

The Social Security Administration has registered 3,969 babies named Toya between 1932 and 2018, spanning 87 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Toya currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2018. The name reached its historical peak in 1976, when 227 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Toya performed strongest in the 1970s, accumulating 1,812 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Toya shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Illinois, which accounts for 404 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Michigan and New York. In total, SSA state-level files list Toya in 23 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Toya 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 3,969 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
