Lilah peaked in 2025, when 1,736 babies got the name.
At least 24,664 babies have been given the name since 1884. 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.

Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 2020s, when it ranked #452. The largest share of babies named Lilah, 66.9%, 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 Lilah is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lilah has been most common in Nevada (2.4×), Arizona (1.8×), and Colorado (1.8×), and least common in District of Columbia (0.43×).
22,308 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.
