In 2025, 31 babies in England and Wales were named Steven. In the US, 2,148 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 38,385 in 1956.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Steven was most common in 1955, when it went to 1.81% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
