Recorded 1911–2004 · United States
Hiawatha was most popular in 1934, when 31 American babies were given the name — ranking #2,359 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 1,228 people named Hiawatha.
Across the whole record Hiawatha is a unisex name — 24.7% of the 1,228 Americans given it were girls and 75.3% were 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.
