The 35-year story
Noeli first appears in the Social Security records in 1990, when 11 girls received the name. Its all-time peak is essentially right now: 2022, with 54 babies and a rank of #3033. Names at their peak can keep climbing — or be one trend cycle from the long slide that eventually hits most popular names.
