Steven by the numbers
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.
For the size of the two countries, it is given far more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 38,385 babies in 1956, so it is a 1950s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1955, about 1 in 55 American boys born that year was called Steven.
