Leota
Leota in 2025
Leota was not given to any babies in 2025. The Social Security Administration only publishes a name once at least five babies receive it in a year, so Leota has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Leota
Leota reached its highest point in 1918, when 359 babies were given the name, ranking 632nd that year. Its best-ever ranking was 465th, in 1896.
Across the 146 years of records since 1880, 10,447 babies have been named Leota. Half of them were born before 1922, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Greatest Generation.
