Zilpha over time
How old is the name Zilpha?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Zilpha 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 54 of the 146 years since. It was last recorded in 1943.
How many people are named Zilpha?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 570 American births named Zilpha 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.
How many babies were named Zilpha in 2025?
Zilpha 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 Zilpha a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Zilpha is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 570 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% 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.
