Number of U.S. babies given the name Dewey each year, from the Social Security Administration.
Counts come from Social Security card applications. The SSA only includes names given to at least 5 babies of the same sex in a given year, so rare names and very recent years may be missing or undercounted. Source: SSA national baby names data.
