Names 401–500 of 726 (page 5 of 8)
How names qualify
A name is listed when the U.S. Social Security Administration’s 2024 national file records it with 5 to 49 births for girls, it has no sex with 50 or more births, and it has a documented meaning in our data. Unique, rare and unusual are one list here: all three mean few births, which is the only measure this data supports. Rare here means rare in U.S. birth records, not invented or one of a kind.
SSA lists only names with at least 5 births in a year. Names SSA does not list in 2024, and names that never matched an SSA name, are not on this page: this data cannot say how rare they are. 30 more names fit the birth range but have no documented meaning of their own in our data yet. SSA counts spellings, not origins: the meaning shown is the one recorded in our data for the same spelling and sex.
707 of the 726 names come from the Muslim-names dataset (Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Turkish, Kurdish and related origins). Names from other traditions appear only where their recorded meaning fits the rule.
Ranks and births are SSA national data: see the source note under the table.
Each row shows the meaning recorded for that name in our data. A name can have other meanings and other origins.
