The story in the numbers
1,075 girls have been named Arbutus in the United States since 1906, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1927, with 50 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 50 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1927, and the 1920s alone account for 36%.

What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
