What the Data Says About Wadie

The Social Security Administration has registered 96 babies named Wadie between 1891 and 1940, spanning 50 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Wadie currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1940. The name reached its historical peak in 1918, when 8 babies received it in a single year. Wadie is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 90 additional births since 1917.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Wadie performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 39 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Wadie shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Wadie 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 96 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
