Social Security began generating these lists in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. Each year, the list unveils the effects of pop-culture on naming trends. Along with 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 2023 and the fastest rising boys' and girls' names.

"Social Security is here to help parents continue to provide for your families - by securing a Social Security number for your child, filing for benefits for yourself or your family members, and so much more. We will never stop working for you." said Social Security Commissioner Martin O'Malley.
