Lucretia peaked in 1974, when 190 babies got the name.
At least 10,430 babies have been given the name since 1880. 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.
Lucretia by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1880s, when it ranked #612. The largest share of babies named Lucretia, 25.4%, were born during the baby boom (1946–1964).
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 Lucretia is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Lucretia has been most common in Alabama (2.9×), South Carolina (2.6×), and Oklahoma (2.2×), and least common in Virginia (0.46×).
5,070 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.
