Atlas peaked in 2025, when 4,558 babies got the name.
At least 27,226 babies have been given the name since 1883. 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 Atlas is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Atlas has been most common in Alaska (3.4×), Nevada (3.4×), and Utah (2.6×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.38×).
25,278 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.
