First appearance
1975

The first year at least five boys were named Thai! It came in at #4,797, and was given to 6 baby boys.


Quietest stretch: 1975, when fewer than 7 boys a year got the name.

Where Thai is popular in 2007

No state had 5 or more boys named Thai in 2007, so the SSA doesn't publish it for any state.
