Maureen peaked in 1957, when 4,606 babies got the name.
At least 144,604 babies have been given the name since 1896. 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.
Maureen by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1950s, when it ranked #190. The largest share of babies named Maureen, 55.2%, 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 Maureen is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Maureen has been most common in Massachusetts (4.4×), Rhode Island (3.8×), and New York (2.9×), and least common in Mississippi (0.04×).
139,867 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.
