  Social Security began compiling the baby names list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880.  Each year, the list reveals the effect of pop-culture on naming trends.  In addition to each state’s top baby names (and names for U.S. territories), Social Security’s website has a list of the 1,000 most popular boys’ and girls’ names for 2022 and the fastest rising girls’ and boys’ names.  

“Just like your name, Social Security is with you from day one.  One of the first things parents do for their newborn is get them a Social Security number.  That makes Social Security the ultimate source for the most popular baby names each year!” said Kilolo Kijakazi, Acting Commissioner of Social Security.  “And just like a name, Social Security is with you through life’s journey.  See what else you can do at www.ssa.gov while you’re online.”

Visitors will experience a fresh homepage and new design to help them find what they need more easily, with clear paths to the tasks customers need to accomplish.  This is part of ongoing efforts to improve how the public can do business with the agency.
