Demetric

Where Demetric comes from

Demetric hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on, and nobody well known enough for an encyclopedia has carried it yet — so for now its story is the one the SSA record tells. Names that spell a familiar sound a new way often live here for a while before anyone writes them down.

Along the way
  1. 1958
    First appearance
    #3,944 among boys, 5 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1967
    Mostly boys from here
    Until now more girls than boys got the name; from this year it's the other way round, and has stayed that way.
  3. 1977
    Peak, #981
    76 babies named Demetric — more than any year before or since.
  4. 1985
    Demetric Bennett born
    American basketball player
  5. 1988
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births — down to #1,879.
  6. 1998
    Demetric Felton born
    American football player
