The 133-year story
Astrid first appears in the Social Security records in 1892, when 9 girls received the name. Its all-time peak is essentially right now: 2024, with 822 babies and a rank of #382. Names at their peak can keep climbing — or be one trend cycle from the long slide that eventually hits most popular names.
