Verda
Verda in 2025
Verda 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 Verda has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Verda
Verda reached its highest point in 1918, when 283 babies were given the name, ranking 733rd that year. Its best-ever ranking was 543rd, in 1898.
Across the 144 years of records since 1882, 8,069 babies have been named Verda. Half of them were born before 1922, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Greatest Generation.
