Is Abran a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Abran has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 107 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Abran: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Abran, and how old are they?
1,780 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 84% of the 2,115 Americans ever recorded as Abran. The median Abran alive today is 27 years old; half are between 18 and 43.
The 2020 Census counted 1,453 people named Abran (15 women and girls, 1,438 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,757 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

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).

Where Abran is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Abran is most over-represented in New Mexico: since 1915 it was given 7.4 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Abran with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 4 names spelled alike, given to 3,802 babies since 1880, Abran is the most given (56% of them). In 2025 it was given to 14 of their 28 babies (50%), again the most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026.
