Yetta over time
How old is the name Yetta?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Yetta 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 106 of the 146 years since.
How many people are named Yetta?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,793 American births named Yetta 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 481 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Yetta in 2025?
Yetta was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Is Yetta getting more or less popular?
Yetta is new. It was not recorded at all a decade ago and averaged 5 births a year across 2021–2025.
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.
Is Yetta a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Yetta is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 3,793 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 100% girls and 0% 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.
How old is someone named Yetta?
Roughly 481 Americans named Yetta are alive today — 13% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 62 years old, and half are between 50 and 73.
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.
