Recorded 1894–2021 · United States
France was most popular in 1918, when 74 American babies were given the name — ranking #1,553 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 1,538 people named France.
Across the whole record France is a unisex name — 75.4% of the 1,538 Americans given it were girls and 24.6% were boys. It changed hands: since 1919 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 0% girls and 100% 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.
