14,967 names were given to children in the United States between 2020 and 2025, ranked below by how many.

What Made a 2020s Name
Children in the United States were registered with it between 2020 and 2025. A name's position here is how many of them were.
Why Some Names Only Cover Part of the Decade
A name that appears in three of the ten years either arrived partway through or faded out — and either is more interesting than the total on its own. The statistics offices do not publish names given to very few children in a year, so a gap can also mean the count dropped below the threshold rather than to nothing.
