Vere — boys' name

What the Data Says About Vere

The Social Security Administration has registered 193 babies named Vere between 1884 and 1989, spanning 106 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Vere currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1989. The name reached its historical peak in 1922, when 16 babies received it in a single year. Vere is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 17 additional births since 1895.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Vere performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 87 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Vere shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Vere 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 193 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
