The story in the numbers
1,297 girls have been named Kym in the United States since 1950, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1959, with 98 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 98 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1964, and the 1960s alone account for 47%.
It is overwhelmingly a girl’s name: 173 boys have also been given it, 12% of the total.

Other spellings in the data
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.
