Apollo peaked in 2022, when 820 babies got the name.
At least 9,012 babies have been given the name since 1965. 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.
Apollo by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 2020s, when it ranked #853. The largest share of babies named Apollo, 82.7%, were born in 2013 or later.
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 Apollo is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Apollo has been most common in Nevada (5.3×), Colorado (2.6×), and Arizona (2.5×), and least common in Alabama (0.38×).
7,466 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.
