How the decade is counted

A decade total adds up every published birth for a name across all ten years (or, for the 2020s, 2020 to 2025), for the 50 states and DC. A name that was #1 for one huge year but quiet the rest of the decade will not beat a name that stayed near the top all decade. Names given to fewer than 5 babies in a state in a year are not published by SSA, so decade totals are slightly smaller than true births.
