Top Baby Names in Wyoming, 1910s — Most Popular Boys & Girls Names

The most popular baby names in Wyoming from 1910 to 1919, ranked by total births during the decade.

What the Data Says About the 1910s in Wyoming

During the 1910s (1910–1919), the Social Security Administration recorded 12,750 births across the top 50 boy and top 50 girl names in Wyoming. The decade's leading boy name was John with 615 births, while Mary was the top girl name with 657 births. The top 50 boys in this decade collectively accounted for 6,504 births versus 6,246 for the top 50 girls — a common SSA pattern in which the boy-name pool is more concentrated among fewer high-frequency choices. These totals represent only names appearing five or more times per year in Wyoming; rarer names fall below the SSA's privacy-disclosure threshold and are excluded.

The 1910s sits within a specific cultural window of U.S. naming history. Pre-1950 decades like the 1910s were characterized by strong traditional and biblical naming conventions, with a small cluster of dominant names (John, William, Mary, Elizabeth) capturing a disproportionate share of births. John and Mary leading Wyoming during this window reflects how regional preferences interact with broader national trends.

Decade totals are computed by summing SSA state-year records for Wyoming across all ten years of the 1910s. Because the SSA suppresses any name with fewer than five annual occurrences in a state, the true number of unique names given in Wyoming during this decade is larger than what this page lists. The dataset also treats every spelling as a separate name — for example, Kayla and Kaylah are tracked independently — so combined-spelling totals would shift the rankings somewhat.
