Alyssa by the numbers
In 2025, 133 babies in England and Wales were named Alyssa. In the US, 2,227 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given noticeably more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 14,035 babies in 1999, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 2000, about 1 in 150 American girls born that year was called Alyssa.
