📜 Abdalla Through the Generations

Abdalla didn't really appear on the American naming scene until relatively recently, and it's still making its mark. With just 390 total births recorded across all available US data, this name has remained consistently uncommon. Its peak came in 2007, when 19 babies received the name, a small but notable high point. The generational breakdown tells a compelling story: 346 of the estimated 384 living bearers are under 30, while only 44 fall in the 30-to-60 range and zero are over 60. That's a name that essentially didn't exist in the US before the late 1980s or 1990s. The average age of someone named Abdalla is just 17, reinforcing how young this population really is. It's worth watching because the trend has been stable rather than declining, suggesting the name has found a small but steady foothold. Globally, Abdalla ranks #2,810 with about 370,266 bearers worldwide, and it's most commonly found in Sudan. In the US, it remains a very rare gem tied closely to Arabic-speaking communities.
