Sarah by the numbers
In 2025, 371 babies in England and Wales were named Sarah. In the US, 3,986 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 28,484 babies in 1982, so it is a 1980s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1980, about 1 in 69 American girls born that year was called Sarah.
