Census Names Data
The Census Bureau receives numerous requests to supply information on name frequency. In an effort to comply with those requests, the Census Bureau has embarked on a names list project involving a tabulation of names from the Census of Population and Housing.
These files contain only the frequency of a given name, no specific individual information.
