The story in the numbers
1,085 boys have been named Viet in the United States since 1975, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 1982, with 65 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 65 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1989, and the 1980s alone account for 40%.

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.
