State data starts in 1910 (national data goes back to 1880) and is censored per state and year: a name needs 5 uses in Hawaii in a year to appear at all. That censoring means state counts never sum to the national total, and it bites hardest on uncommon names in small states.
Counts are based on U.S. births and are tracked separately for girls and boys. Names used fewer than 5 times in a year aren’t published for that year, so totals here are a floor — the shortfall is largest in the sparse early years.
