Frequently asked questions
- What is the most popular baby name in Arizona?
- For births registered in 2025, Liam was the top boy's name (437) and Olivia was the top girl's name (353), according to Social Security card applications filed for Arizona births.
- Where does this Arizona data come from?
- The Social Security Administration publishes a state-specific file of names taken from Social Security card applications. It covers 2008 onward in the range shown here and is public domain.
- Why are some names missing from the Arizona list?
- SSA withholds any name with fewer than 5 occurrences in a state and year. That is a privacy rule, not a gap in the records, so a missing name means "fewer than 5", never zero.
- Do these counts include every baby born in Arizona?
- They include births with a Social Security card application that lists Arizona as the state of birth. Names are counted as written on the application, so spelling variants are counted separately.
- How often is the Arizona ranking updated?
- SSA releases the previous year's data annually, usually in the first half of the following year. Past years do not change once published.
