Sol peaked in 2025, when 573 babies got the name.
At least 12,382 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.
Sol by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1910s, when it ranked #684. The largest share of babies named Sol, 33.6%, were born between 1901 and 1927, the Greatest 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 Sol is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Sol has been most common in New York (5.3×), California (1.7×), and Arizona (1.7×), and least common in Massachusetts (0.17×).
7,697 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.
