Recorded 1880–2025 · United States
Artie was most popular in 1921, when 214 American babies were given the name — ranking #877 that year. In 2025 it ranked #16,070, with 10 births. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 10,816 people named Artie.
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Artie is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 144 of the 146 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 10,816 American births named Artie between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 3,119 are estimated to be alive today.
10 American babies were named Artie in 2025, ranking #16,070 that year.
Artie is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 11 births a year across 2021–2025 against 8 a year a decade earlier — at these counts a single baby moves the percentage, and any year under five births is withheld at source.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Across the whole record Artie is a unisex name — 59.2% of the 10,816 Americans given it were girls and 40.8% were boys. It changed hands: since 1944 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that. In births since 2016 it is 7% girls and 93% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 3,119 Americans named Artie are alive today — 29% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 67 years old, and half are between 54 and 78.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
