Maryam peaked in 2025, when 869 babies got the name.
At least 13,845 babies have been given the name since 1946. 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 Maryam is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Maryam has been most common in Virginia (2.2×), New York (2.1×), and New Jersey (1.9×), and least common in Kentucky (0.23×).
11,790 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.
