Popular Baby Names for Boys in USA 1880-2023

Popular baby names for boys in the USA reflect cultural trends, family traditions, and societal influences. Each year, the Social Security Administration (SSA) releases a list of the most popular names based on birth records. Classic names like James, William, and Michael have remained consistently popular for decades, reflecting their timeless appeal. Meanwhile, newer trends show a rise in names inspired by pop culture, such as Liam, which became a top name partly due to its association with actors and characters.

Names like Noah and Elijah, with biblical origins, continue to resonate, especially in families seeking spiritual or traditional roots. Others, such as Oliver and Mason, highlight a preference for charming, vintage names. Diversity in naming is also increasing, with parents exploring unique spellings or names from various cultures.

The popularity of certain names often fluctuates with generational shifts, celebrity influences, or cultural moments. For instance, names like Ethan and Logan surged in the early 2000s, while today, names like Mateo and Levi are gaining ground. These trends showcase the dynamic nature of baby naming in the United States.
