About this list
78% of the names in Girl Names have a documented meaning.
By recorded origin: Arabic 1,405, Persian 497, Latin 118, Sanskrit 104, Ancient Greek 91, other 336. 6,727 names carry no language label.
3,308 names are in the 2024 US Social Security file. Best ranked: Olivia (#1, girls), Emma (#2, girls), Amelia (#3, girls), Charlotte (#4, girls), Mia (#5, girls).
Counts are distinct names; a name recorded for both genders counts once. A documented meaning is a real gloss in our data, not an import placeholder. Origin is the label recorded in the dataset: "English", "Muslim" and "Quranic" are collection labels, not languages, so they are counted as no language label. Source: U.S. Social Security Administration, Popular Baby Names (national data, 1880-2024). Counts are Social Security card applications for births in the United States; names with fewer than 5 births in a year are not listed, and spelling variants are counted separately.
