Is Abbi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Abbi has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 57 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Abbi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Abbi, and how old are they?
2,040 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 2,083 Americans ever recorded as Abbi. The median Abbi alive today is 26 years old; half are between 19 and 37.
The 2020 Census counted 2,853 people named Abbi (2,797 women and girls, 56 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,001 born in the U.S. The Census count is 43% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Abbi rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
