Alba peaked in 2024, when 205 babies got the name.
At least 7,579 babies have been given the name since 1880. 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.

Where Alba is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Alba has been most common in New York (3.3×), California (3×), and Texas (2.2×), and least common in Indiana (0.33×).
4,383 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.
