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.

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.
