Zy — boys' name

What the Data Says About Zy

The Social Security Administration has registered 78 babies named Zy between 2004 and 2023, spanning 20 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Zy currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2019, when 11 babies received it in a single year. Zy is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 6 additional births since 2011.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Zy performed strongest in the 2010s, accumulating 33 births during that ten-year window. Across the 3 decades of recorded activity, Zy shows notable generational variation in parental adoption.

No etymological entry is currently available for Zy 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 78 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
