The story in the numbers
2,588 girls have been named Tesla in the United States since 1985, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2015, with 167 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 167 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 2008, and the 2010s alone account for 43%.
It is overwhelmingly a girl’s name: 98 boys have also been given it, 3.6% 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.
