The story in the numbers
163,651 girls have been named Georgia in the United States since 1880, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1947, with 2,475 births — 0.14% of all girls recorded that year.
This is a comeback. After an early peak the name fell to a fraction of its former share, and it has been climbing again for the past decade.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1943, and the 1920s alone account for 14%. It has spent 145 of 145 years in the top 1,000, 32 of them in the top 100.

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.
