White — boys' name

What the Data Says About White

The Social Security Administration has registered 31 babies named White between 1900 and 1947, spanning 48 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, White currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 1947. The name reached its historical peak in 1914, when 11 babies received it in a single year.

Decade-level aggregation shows that White performed strongest in the 1910s, accumulating 16 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, White shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for White 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 31 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
