Rank within each sex, plotted together. Click any year to open it.
Gaps mean fewer than 5 babies received the name that year, so the SSA doesn't publish it. Not on the chart: 6 boys in 1923, 6 boys in 1926, 5 boys in 1927 (see the data table).

The first year at least five girls were named Hong! It came in at #4,154, and was given to 15 baby girls.
Quietest stretch: 1997, when fewer than 5 girls a year got the name.
Where Hong is popular in 2025
No state had 5 or more girls named Hong in 2025, so the SSA doesn't publish it for any state.
