The story in the numbers
1,208 boys have been named Thai in the United States since 1975, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2000, with 42 births.
It is holding steady: its share of births has moved by less than half in either direction over ten years.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1998, and the 2000s alone account for 30%.
It is overwhelmingly a boy’s name: 212 girls have also been given it, 15% of the total.

Other spellings in the data
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.
