From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Georgia yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Georgia has almost exactly recovered a peak set in 1947. Its highest birth count was 2,475 that year; it currently records 2,458, having grown 84% across the decade. That is about as close to a full round trip as this dataset produces, and it puts Georgia alongside Leon as a name that has genuinely returned rather than merely stopped falling. Rank is another matter — 81 back in 1882 against 110 now — because the field has widened so much. Present since 1880 with 164,380 births. Only two bearers are listed, the actor Georgia Engel, born 1948, and the footballer Georgia Stanway, which is thin for a name that doubles as a US state and a country.
