Decade-level aggregation shows that Veta performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 408 births during that ten-year window. Across the 14 decades of recorded activity, Veta shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Texas, which accounts for 144 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Oklahoma and Missouri. In total, SSA state-level files list Veta in 9 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Veta 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 2,021 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
