Anabel peaked in 2014, when 297 babies got the name.
At least 9,815 babies have been given the name since 1882. 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.
Anabel by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1880s, when it ranked #1,661. The largest share of babies named Anabel, 36.4%, were born between 1997 and 2012, as Generation Z.
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 Anabel is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Anabel has been most common in California (4×), Texas (3.1×), and Florida (1.9×), and least common in Michigan (0.13×).
6,884 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.
