In 2025, 24 babies in England and Wales were named Winona. In the US, 75 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 289 in 1924.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Winona was most common in 1925, when it went to 0.02% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
