In 2025, 624 babies in England and Wales were named Elizabeth. In the US, 8,924 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 20,744 in 1990.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Elizabeth was most common in 1880, when it went to 1.99% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
