The numbers

Every figure

Births in 2020: 5
Rank in 2020: #15,088
How rare: 1 in 323,309 girls
Since 1901: 983

Maryland was last recorded in 2020. Fewer than five girls have been given the name in any year since, which is the point below which the record stops reporting.

Most popular in 1927, at 28 per million girls born.

There isn’t enough data for a ten-year trend: Maryland doesn’t appear in both ends of that window.
