First appearance
1894
The first year at least five girls were named France! It came in at #1,485, and was given to 5 baby girls.
Quietest stretch: 1894–1902, when fewer than 6 girls a year got the name.
Where France is popular in 2025
No state had 5 or more girls named France in 2025, so the SSA doesn't publish it for any state.
