What the Data Says About Ura

The Social Security Administration has registered 508 babies named Ura between 1887 and 1955, spanning 69 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Ura currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1955. The name reached its historical peak in 1917, when 17 babies received it in a single year. Ura is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 70 additional births since 1886.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ura performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 124 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Ura shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 15 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Louisiana. In total, SSA state-level files list Ura in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ura 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 508 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
