About this list
By gender: 13 for boys only, 21 for girls only, 12 recorded for both. 100% of the names in Kurdish Baby Names have a documented meaning. The rest are listed without one, because our data has nothing usable to show for them yet.
5 names are in the 2024 US Social Security file. Best ranked: Alan (#167, boys), Aras (#3,093, boys), Saya (#3,320, girls), Aran (#3,589, boys), Zaryan (#7,224, boys).
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.
