Utah — #9054 US boys' name

What the Data Says About Utah

The Social Security Administration has registered 382 babies named Utah between 1918 and 2024, spanning 107 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Utah currently holds the #9054 rank among boys for 2024. The name reached its historical peak in 1921, when 21 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Utah performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 131 births during that ten-year window. Across the 8 decades of recorded activity, Utah shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Oklahoma, which accounts for 26 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Arkansas and Texas. In total, SSA state-level files list Utah in 3 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Utah 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 382 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
