Vida peaked in 2022, when 277 babies got the name.
At least 12,473 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.
Vida by decade
Among all names given to American babies, its best decade was the 1890s, when it ranked #560. The largest share of babies named Vida, 30.3%, 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 Vida is most common
Compared with all babies born in each state since 1910, Vida has been most common in Arkansas (4.1×), Oklahoma (3.2×), and Texas (2.1×), and least common in Virginia (0.28×).
6,171 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.
