Ural — boys' name

What the Data Says About Ural

The Social Security Administration has registered 407 babies named Ural between 1896 and 1970, spanning 75 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Ural currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1970. The name reached its historical peak in 1927, when 21 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Ural performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 105 births during that ten-year window. Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Ural shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Louisiana, which accounts for 5 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Ural in 2 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Ural 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 407 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
