Half of everyone given the name was born by 1948, and the 1920s alone account for 16%.
Bernell is used for both sexes: 32% of its bearers are girls (750), most of them born around 1927.

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.
