Top Baby Names by State

Each year the Social Security Administration releases statistics for what parents named their babies during the previous year. They even break it down by state! It reveals some fascinating trends, unique names, and other fun insights. Let’s take a look at the country as a whole first.

So let’s take a look at last year’s most popular baby names!

The most popular girl’s name in each state (2021)

In 2021, the top 10 most popular girls’ names in the US were

1. Olivia (pink)
2. Emma (red-orange)
3. Charlotte (orange)
4. Amelia (yellow)
5. Ava (green)
6. Sophia (not on the map!)
7. Isabella (not on the map!)
8. Mia (light blue)
9. Evelyn (dark blue)
10. Harper (not on the map!)

And in the map above, you can see that:

• Olivia stole the show! It was the most popular name in almost every state.
• However, check out the cluster of Charlottes in Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa!
• Amelia made it to number one in West Virginia and Alaska. 
• Folks in Mississippi really like the name Ava
• And Evelyn was super popular in Oregon and South Dakota. 

The most popular boy’s name in each state (2021)

In 2021, the top 10 most popular boys’ names in the US were

1. Liam (light blue)
2. Noah (green)
3. Oliver (yellow)
4. Elijah (not on the map!)

6. William (orange)
7. Benjamin (not on the map!)
8. Lucas (not on the map!)
9. Henry (red)
10. Theodore (not on the map!)

You can already see from the map that the boy’s names are much more varied than girl’s names! However, seven different girl names made it to being the most popular in their state. Only five different boy names made it to number one status in a state!

And on the map above, you can see that

• Liam dominated, and was the top name in over 20 states!
• But Oliver stole many of the northern states.
• And Noah had surprising popularity all across the country, including California, Alaska, Hawaii, Georgia, Michigan, and Massachusetts
• The classic William is definitely loved in the south- Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina.
• Surprisingly, Henry is quite popular in South Dakota, Nebraska, and New Hampshire

The top five most popular girl’s names in each state (2021)

Looking at the trends of each specific state is fun! We find some places who follow the obvious national trends and others who have their own unique naming styles. Here we go!

Waylon may be popular due to country singer Waylon Jennings
