About Nevada
Named for its snowcapped mountains, Nevada is a state name which, unlike Carolina, Montana, and Dakota, has been relatively undiscovered. Warning: today's unvisited place-name could become tomorrow's trampled tourist attraction.
Pronounced nuh-VAD-uh.
As of October 2026, Nevada ranked #3819 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #441 in 1882.
