Is Alysia a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Alysia: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Alysia, and how old are they?
9,200 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 9,498 Americans ever recorded as Alysia. The median Alysia alive today is 34 years old; half are between 25 and 44.
The 2020 Census counted 7,857 people named Alysia (7,840 women and girls, 17 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 9,115 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% 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 Alysia is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Alysia is most over-represented in Florida: since 1950 it was given 1.1 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 girls’ 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 Alysia with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
