Over the span of a century (1903-2003), the name Prince experienced varied popularity, with notable fluctuations and several periods of decreased usage. The name reached its peak during the early to mid-1940s, particularly in 1947 with 18 births, likely influenced by the royal family's presence and prestige at that time. However, it appears that the name became less common over time, as indicated by the frequent occurrence of 5 or fewer births from the late 1960s onwards. Despite these fluctuations, Prince remained a popular choice among parents throughout much of the century, with a total of 550 babies named Prince during this period.
