In 2025, 522 babies in England and Wales were named Maria. In the US, 2,704 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 10,140 in 1964.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Maria was most common in 1965, when it went to 0.52% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
