Virgie
Pet form of Virginia, which comes from the Roman family name Verginius and has long been associated with the Latin virgo, maiden.
Virgie in 2025
Virgie 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 Virgie has fallen below that threshold.
The history of Virgie
Virgie reached its highest point in 1918, when 581 babies were given the name, ranking 475th that year. Its best-ever ranking was 266th, in 1904.
Across the 146 years of records since 1880, 22,468 babies have been named Virgie. Half of them were born before 1923, which places the name's centre of gravity with the Greatest Generation.
