Vijay — boys' name

What the Data Says About Vijay

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,490 babies named Vijay between 1963 and 2023, spanning 61 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Vijay currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2006, when 49 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Vijay performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 379 births during that ten-year window. Across the 7 decades of recorded activity, Vijay shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in New York, which accounts for 148 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by California and New Jersey. In total, SSA state-level files list Vijay in 6 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Vijay 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 1,490 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
