Zee — boys' name

What the Data Says About Zee

The Social Security Administration has registered 84 babies named Zee between 1976 and 2023, spanning 48 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Zee currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2019, when 10 babies received it in a single year. Zee is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 37 additional births since 1939.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Zee performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 48 births during that ten-year window. Across the 4 decades of recorded activity, Zee shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Zee 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 84 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
