Nature first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1973, which makes it about 52 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 40 of the 53 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 849 American births named Nature between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 840 are estimated to be alive today.
80 American babies were named Nature in 2025, ranking #4,107 that year.
Nature is rising. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 74 births a year, against 10 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of +640% over the decade.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Across the whole record Nature is a unisex name — 75.3% of the 849 Americans given it were girls and 24.7% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 72% girls and 28% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
Roughly 840 Americans named Nature are alive today — 99% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 6 years old, and half are between 3 and 20.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
