Is Alanni a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Alanni: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Alanni, and how old are they?
An estimated 954 Americans named Alanni and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 6 years old and half are between 3 and 11. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 357 people named Alanni (357 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 460 born in the U.S. The Census count is 22% 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.
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).

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025.
