Wilmoth — unisex name

What the Data Says About Wilmoth

The Social Security Administration has registered 178 babies named Wilmoth between 1909 and 1941, spanning 33 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Wilmoth currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 1941. The name reached its historical peak in 1927, when 13 babies received it in a single year. Wilmoth is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 30 additional births since 1916.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Wilmoth performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 70 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Wilmoth shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Wilmoth 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 178 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
