Names Only Popular in California, 2025 (With Counts)

What "only popular in California" means: a name counts if it was given at least 5 times in California in 2025 and fewer than 5 times in any other state. SSA does not publish names given fewer than 5 times, so a name could exist elsewhere in smaller numbers. This definition follows the one published by nancy.cc, the only other site publishing these counts.
