The story in the numbers
1,673 girls have been named Genia in the United States since 1886, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1964, with 57 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 57 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1966, and the 1960s alone account for 28%.

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.
