The 27-year story
Maven first appears in the Social Security records in 1998, when 5 girls received the name. Its all-time peak is essentially right now: 2023, with 156 babies and a rank of #1430. Names at their peak can keep climbing — or be one trend cycle from the long slide that eventually hits most popular names.
