Myrna peaked in 1938, when 1,808 babies got the name.
At least 31,742 babies have been given the name since 1885. Years SSA withheld, because fewer than 5 were born, are skipped rather than drawn as zero.
Myrna by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1930s, when it ranked #333. The largest share of babies named Myrna, 53.6%, were born between 1928 and 1945, the Silent Generation's birth years.
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 Myrna is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Myrna has been most common in Montana (4.8×), North Dakota (4.4×), and South Dakota (3.8×), and least common in New Mexico (0.26×).
27,792 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.
