Is Aman a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Aman: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Aman, and how old are they?
2,580 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 2,633 Americans ever recorded as Aman. The median Aman alive today is 21 years old; half are between 12 and 27.
The 2020 Census counted 4,758 people named Aman (644 women and girls, 4,114 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,253 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.1 times 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.

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 79 |

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 Aman is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Aman is most over-represented in New Jersey: since 1969 it was given 1.6 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 Aman 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 8 names spelled alike, given to 21,162 babies since 1880, Aman is the fifth most given (12% of them). In 2025 it was given to 61 of their 642 babies (9.5%), the fourth most given that year.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
