Is Alexya a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Alexya has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 26 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Alexya: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Alexya, and how old are they?
An estimated 477 Americans named Alexya and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 22 years old and half are between 17 and 25. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 405 people named Alexya (403 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 478 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% 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).
