Haskell
3,700 US births on record
Haskell in the United States
Between 2015 and 2024 the name has been rising — up 27% as a share of boys' births.

Haskell in New Zealand
Haskell never reached 10 births in a single year in New Zealand, so it does not appear in the DIA file. That is a reporting floor, not a zero — the name may still have been registered here, just never ten times in one year.

Where in the United States
The states that registered Haskell most often since 1883. These are lifetime totals, so they track state population as much as local taste — a name common in Wyoming will never out-count California.
| State | Births |
|---|---|
| Oklahoma | 557 |
| Texas | 376 |
| South Carolina | 375 |
| Tennessee | 228 |
| Arkansas | 97 |
| Kentucky | 91 |
| Georgia | 15 |
| New York | 15 |
| North Carolina | 12 |
| Indiana | 6 |
How these figures are worked out
- Counts come straight from the registrars: the US Social Security Administration (1880–2025) and the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs (1900–2025). Nothing is scraped from another names site.
- Ranks are computed against every name in that year's file, not just the ones this site publishes pages for — otherwise a rank would flatter every name we happen to list.
- The curve is drawn on births per 100,000 of that sex, not raw counts. Raw counts across eras are misleading: far more births were registered in 1957 than in 1890, so a flat count is a falling share.
- Each country hides small numbers — the US below 5 births a year, New Zealand below 10. A gap in a line is "below the floor", never "nobody".
