The story in the numbers
49,850 girls have been named Quinn in the United States since 1948, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2016, with 3,648 births — 0.21% 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 2017, and the 2010s alone account for 55%. It has spent 31 of 145 years in the top 1,000, 10 of them in the top 100.
Quinn is used for both sexes: 42% of its bearers are boys (36,324), most of them born around 2009.

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.
