About Most Popular Girl Names in the United States

All rankings on this page are calculated from official government birth statistics. For the United States, the primary source is the Social Security Administration (SSA), using birth records from 1910–2025.

Names are classified as Girl Names only when they maintain a female usage rate above 75% throughout their recorded history. This approach helps distinguish predominantly feminine names from names that have been used by both boys and girls.
