4,240 births and #50 nationally — both fresh territory for Delilah in 2024, up 69% from ten years before.
Only one figure appears in the enrichment data: the biblical Delilah, dated to roughly 1100 BC — younger than Leah's and Hannah's biblical references elsewhere in this batch, but older than Ezekiel's 620 BC and Isaiah's 765 BC from the fourth batch.
