First appearance
1914
The first year at least five boys were named De! It came in at #3,264, and was given to 5 baby boys.
Quietest stretch: 1914–1915, when fewer than 6 boys a year got the name.
Where De is popular in 2025
No state had 5 or more boys named De in 2025, so the SSA doesn't publish it for any state.
