Is Acey a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Acey: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Acey, and how old are they?
An estimated 287 Americans named Acey and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (57% of everyone recorded); the median is 28 years old and half are between 8 and 56. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 360 people named Acey (94 women and girls, 266 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 246 born in the U.S. The Census count is 46% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
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).
How common is the spelling Acey?
Acey is a less common spelling of Acie: SSA has recorded 506 Acey and 2,143 Acie since 1880.

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. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
