Is Ameen a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Ameen has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 52 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Ameen: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Ameen, and how old are they?
1,720 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 1,759 Americans ever recorded as Ameen. The median Ameen alive today is 17 years old; half are between 9 and 26.
The 2020 Census counted 1,648 people named Ameen (32 women and girls, 1,616 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,418 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 72 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 256 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 707 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 689 |
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 Ameen is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Ameen is most over-represented in Pennsylvania: since 1974 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 Ameen 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 18,747 babies since 1880, Ameen is the sixth most given (9.4% of them). In 2025 it was given to 57 of their 467 babies (12%), the fourth most given that year.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
