    Only in Texas

    The most common names that appear only in Texas in 2025.

    What “only in Texas” means: a name counts if it was given at least 5 times in Texas in 2025 and fewer than 5 times in any other state (the 50 states and DC). SSA does not publish names given fewer than 5 times, so a name could exist elsewhere in smaller numbers. See the full list on the names only popular in Texas page.
