Data is from the United States Social Security Administration, and comprises records of those who apply for a social security number, since 1987 usually by their parents in their first year of life. Records between 1934 and 1987 have more adult applicants, and records before 1934 have only adult applicants, and only a portion of the population.
Any name with fewer than five exemplars in any given year has been omitted due to privacy concerns.
