The story in the numbers
1,158 boys have been named Norvell in the United States since 1905, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1941, with 27 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 27 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1947, and the 1930s alone account for 15%.
It is overwhelmingly a boy’s name: 117 girls have also been given it, 9.2% 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.
