It is holding steady: its share of births has moved by less than half in either direction over ten years.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 2007, and the 2010s alone account for 29%.

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.
