Origin
Meaning and history of Condy
The given name Condy is a relatively uncommon name with a rather obscure origin. It is believed to have derived from the Old English word "cund," which means "natural" or "innate." This suggests that the name may have been initially used to describe someone with a gentle or inherent nature.
The earliest recorded use of the name Condy dates back to the late 16th century in England. One of the earliest documented individuals with this name was Condy Raleigh, a minor nobleman who lived in the late 1500s and was distantly related to the famous explorer Sir Walter Raleigh.

One notable figure from this time period was Condy Culpeper, a physician and botanist who lived from 1616 to 1654 and made significant contributions to the study of medicinal plants.
As the name Condy continued to be used throughout the centuries, it also gained a foothold in other parts of the world, particularly in regions that were influenced by British colonization. In the 18th century, there was a Condy Raguet, a French-American merchant and politician who lived from 1784 to 1842 and played a role in the early economic development of the United States.
Moving into the 19th century, one of the most prominent individuals with the name Condy was Condy Ragland Raguet, an American naval officer who served during the American Civil War and was decorated for his bravery in various battles. He lived from 1838 to 1915.
Another notable figure from this era was Condy Calhoun Gillett, an American politician who served as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1867 to 1873, representing the state of Pennsylvania. He was born in 1828 and died in 1897.

FAQ
Condy: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Condy?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 3 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Condy going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 114,251,446 US residents.
Is Condy a common name?
We classify Condy as "Very Rare". It ranks above 4.9% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Condy most popular?
The single biggest year for Condy was 1944, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Condy is about 71 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Condy in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Condy a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Condy in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Condy still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Condy in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Condy can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
