Irina peaked in 2024, when 136 babies got the name.
At least 2,425 babies have been given the name since 1944. 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 Irina is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Irina has been most common in Washington (6.6×), California (3.5×), and Florida (2.4×), and least common in New York (1.9×).
1,092 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.
