Eliza by the numbers
In 2025, 712 babies in England and Wales were named Eliza. In the US, 2,061 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 England and Wales than in the US.
Its best year in America so far is the most recent one on record, which means it was still climbing when the records end.
At its height, in 1880, about 1 in 390 American girls born that year was called Eliza.
