lotus bud

Which girl names emerged in the U.S. baby name data in 2024 for the first time ever?

A total of 721 girl names debuted in the data last year, and the most impressive debut was made by Yashna. Here are the top debuts overall:

  1. Yashna, 170 baby girls
  2. Azeira, 65
  3. Dalzary, 44
  4. Ailanys, 34
  5. Zayelle, 30
  6. Heyssel, 29
  7. Yeshna, 26
  8. Khamyri, 25
  9. Kohani, 24
  10. Navayla, 24
  11. Dahira, 23
  12. Sveya, 23
  13. Xaelia, 22
  14. Zenayla, 22
  15. Avaylah, 21
  16. Cireya, 20
  17. Nevayla, 20
  18. Amrielle, 19
  19. Mikaely, 18
  20. Sidak, 18
  21. Ayliani, 17

  29. Alyzzah, 14
  30. Asiri, 14
  31. Islani, 14
  32. Symori, 14

Yashna could have been influenced by the main female character in the Indian movie Hi Nanna, released in late 2023. (The name of the character’s romantic interest, Viraj, also saw an increase in usage last year.)

Here are some more debuts:

13 baby girlsDenayt, Elianeth, Inti, Izalyn, Jaziriah, Soulie, Sylphiette, Vihanvi, Xialani, Zaierra
12 baby girlsCalissi, Harmyni, Isaliyah, Islarae, Layvani, Tycelyn, Umay, Zuheilyn
11 baby girlsAmaeva, Dreamlyn, Haniely, Knourish, Kylanii, Laineymae, Shreeva, Xenayla
10 baby girlsAjorie, Davileth, Ellavie, Esslyn, Kaeor, Kritara, Ozora, Ralani, Rennala, Rouh, Truce, Vidhitsa, Zeliana, Zenova

Sylphiette seems to originate with the Japanese light novel series Mushoku Tensei (which was adapted into an anime series recently), and Truce was one of the fastest-rising boy names last year.

Finally, here’s a selection of the rest of the debuts:

  • 9 baby girls: Eliel, Gelani, Iclynn, Laguna, Nadxheli, Raiha, Tahyssia, Wynrie
  • 8 baby girls: Alaula, Bimori, Canari, Daybelis, Hande, Issoria, Keyleth, Luseh, Malaica, Nashlyn, Roper, Shriva, Vexahlia, Winshaida
  • 7 baby girls: Anzish, Chrome, Dashely, Faela, Gialani, Koriandr, Luvlee, Malou, Nektaria, Reazyn, Saiomi, Takdeer, Tallinn, Wailani, Zenelle
  • 6 baby girls: Aigy, Azurra, Bibihalima, Caiani, Deluna, Emzara, Heva, Idika, Keava, Liserly, Mactzil, Mauve, Millerkate, Nephele, Omisha, Raziella, Sanoa, Talvi, Vidhatri, Wrenlei, Xanai, Ysabeau, Zissi
  • 5 baby girls: Abundance, Aikol, Bomi, Chylo, Dashelly, Esila, Fairlight, Gwiza, Haegan, Ionie, Jaomi, Kolibri, Lifsha, Menata, Nivira, Olalla, Pneuma, Quori, Rasta, Shacarri, Tullie, Valleigh, Xielo, Yaqut, Zoet

Shacarri was no doubt inspired by sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson. She’s been making headlines for several years now, but in 2024 specifically she won a pair of medals (gold and silver) at the Paris Olympics.

(And, more generally: Laguna means “lagoon” in Spanish, Tallinn is the capital of Estonia, Mactzil means “miracle” in Mayan, and Pneuma means “breath” in Ancient Greek.)

Baby names that fell the fastest in the U.S. data, 1881 to today (relative decrease)

We looked at the top baby name rises last month, so this month let’s look at the opposite: the top drops. That is, the baby names that decreased the most in usage, percentage-wise, from one year to the next in the Social Security Administration’s data.

Here’s the format: girl names are on the left, boy names are on the right, and the percentages represent single-year slides in usage. (For example, from 1880 to 1881, usage of the girl name Clementine dropped 68% and usage of the boy name Neil dropped 76%.)

Top drops aren’t quite as exciting as top rises, but certain ones become much more intriguing when you notice that they were also top rises:

  • Rose-then-dropped: Clarance, Lollie, Lindsay, Zudora, Tatsuo, Liberty, Norita, Vallorie, Krystal, Seneca, Nakia, Mikalah, Bethzy, Thaily
  • Dropped-then-rose: Clementine, Malissa, Diana, Alvie, Pierce, Judge, Rosendo

I’ve already written about some of the names above (click the links to see the posts) and I plan to write about a few of the others. In the meanwhile, though, feel free to beat me to it — leave a comment and let us know why you think any of these names saw dropped in usage when they did.
