The story in the numbers
985 girls have been named Claris in the United States since 1899, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1918, with 38 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 38 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1927, and the 1920s alone account for 30%.
It is overwhelmingly a girl’s name: 77 boys have also been given it, 7.3% of the total.

What this page does not tell you. The Social Security data records how many babies were given a name, not what the name means or where it comes from — so neither do we. Counts cover people with a Social Security number; names given to fewer than five babies in a year are withheld. More on the data.
