In 2025, 338 babies in England and Wales were named Etta. In the US, 255 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 803 in 1920.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Etta was most common in 1880, when it went to 0.33% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
