The story in the numbers

The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 42 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1943, and the 1940s alone account for 28%.
Donnis is used for both sexes: 31% of its bearers are boys (466), most of them born around 1953.

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.
