The story in the numbers
1,490 boys have been named Vijay in the United States since 1963, according to Social Security records. The busiest single year was 2006, with 49 births.
The name has all but left use: none recorded in 2024, against 49 at the peak.
Half of everyone given the name was born by 1993, and the 2000s alone account for 25%.

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.
