The story in the numbers

1,930 girls have been named Valeri in the United States since 1948, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1964, with 55 births.

Half of everyone given the name was born by 1976, and the 1960s alone account for 21%.

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.
