📜 Lilo Through the Generations

Lilo's story in America is one of recent discovery. It's a name that barely registered on birth records until very recently, with just 418 total births recorded across all available US data. What makes the pattern so striking is the age breakdown: 408 of those living bearers are under 30, while virtually no one between 30 and 60 carries the name. A small cluster of about 10 bearers over 60 likely reflects German immigrants who brought the name with them decades ago. That 98% concentration among younger Americans tells us this name didn't grow gradually but rather burst onto the scene in the last decade. The average bearer is only 9 years old, making Lilo one of the youngest-skewing names you'll find. Its peak year of 2022 saw 44 births, and the upward trend doesn't show signs of slowing. Globally, it's more established, ranking #32,009 worldwide with 24,993 living bearers, most commonly found in Germany. The 2002 Disney film "Lilo & Stitch" undoubtedly planted the seed, but it took a full generation before American parents embraced it in meaningful numbers.
