The story in the numbers
13,735 boys have been named Carmine in the United States since 1891, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2006, with 262 births.

Half of everyone given the name was born by 1954, and the 1920s alone account for 15%. It has spent 79 of 145 years in the top 1,000.
It is overwhelmingly a boy’s name: 481 girls have also been given it, 3.4% of the total.

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.
