Press and Citation Information
Use the observation year and selection when quoting a result. The national history held by this site is a filtered import, not a complete copy of every name in the official source.
Correction, October 27, 2026: static figures with drifting year labels and unsupported historical or demographic explanations have been removed. Current observations below are read from the available records.

Latest observed leaders
For official rankings and their qualifications, consult SSA’s baby-name publication. For this site’s selection and calculations, cite the individual report together with its scope.
Cite the observation, not an expanded claim
A citation should identify the report title, URL, year or range, and whether its result covers an imported selection. Attribute underlying SSA data to the Social Security Administration and the particular selection or presentation to 9BabyNames. An absent local row cannot be quoted as zero use or fewer than five uses.
Do not infer real sibling or twin pairings, parents’ religion or ethnicity, or a cultural cause from aggregate annual counts. Name etymologies require sources separate from SSA popularity data.
