Spellings of Aleida

#2542
Aleida on the 2025 chart
#844
counting every spelling

The SSA counts spellings, not names. Aleida went to 69 girls in 2025, but Aleyda is the same name said out loud. Together the 2 spellings went to 116, which makes it the 844th most-given girls’ name of the year — 1,698 places above the chart.

About 1 girl in 13,856 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 23,294 for Aleida itself.

Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method

The Cozetta test

Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Aleida's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Cozetta climbed just as high around 1929, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Cozetta's path sketches the road Aleida is walking now.
