Aida peaked in 2005, when 243 babies got the name.
At least 13,782 babies have been given the name since 1881. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero. * 2025 is the newest year published and it undercounts: a card application is filed some time after a birth.
Aida by decade

Rank counts both sexes together, among every name SSA recorded that decade; the number under it is births. The 2020s run only to 2025. Generation years follow Pew Research Center, which has not named a generation after 2012.
Where Aida is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Aida has been most common in New York (3.7×), Texas (2.7×), and California (2×), and least common in Ohio (0.18×).
10,292 births recorded by state, 1910–2025. 2× means twice as common as nationally. States with fewer than 30 such births are left blank, and SSA withholds any year with fewer than 5 in a state, so small states read low.
