Juda

Where Juda comes from

Juda hasn't made it into the dictionaries we draw on 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.

  • Vowel-ended
Along the way
  1. 1959
    First appearance
    #3,619 among boys, 6 babies — the first year at least five got the name.
  2. 1960
    Peak, #3,077
    8 babies named Juda — more than any year before or since.
  3. 1961
    The fade
    The first year with half the peak's births.
  4. 1977
    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.
