What the Data Says About Yolande

The Social Security Administration has registered 1,620 babies named Yolande between 1902 and 1997, spanning 96 consecutive years of U.S. birth records.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Yolande performed strongest in the 1920s, accumulating 288 births during that ten-year window. Across the 10 decades of recorded activity, Yolande shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in Louisiana, which accounts for 99 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by New York and Maine. In total, SSA state-level files list Yolande in 7 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Yolande 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 1,620 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
