What the Data Says About Verda

The Social Security Administration has registered 8,062 babies named Verda between 1882 and 1999, spanning 118 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Verda performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 2,120 births during that ten-year window. Across the 12 decades of recorded activity, Verda shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 460 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Pennsylvania and Oklahoma. In total, SSA state-level files list Verda in 32 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Verda 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 8,062 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
