Welcome — boys' name

What the Data Says About Welcome

The Social Security Administration has registered 147 babies named Welcome between 1911 and 1941, spanning 31 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Welcome currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1941. The name reached its historical peak in 1915, when 12 babies received it in a single year. Welcome is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 23 additional births since 1912.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Welcome performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 64 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Welcome shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Welcome 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 147 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
