Is Angeles a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 3,498 Americans recorded as Angeles, 98% are girls and 2% boys. In 2025 it went to 42 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Angeles: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Angeles, and how old are they?
3,420 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 3,498 Americans ever recorded as Angeles. The median Angeles alive today is 22 years old; half are between 17 and 27.
The 2020 Census counted 6,425 people named Angeles (6,217 women and girls, 208 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 3,190 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.0 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.

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 Angeles is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Angeles is most over-represented in California: since 1932 it was given 1.9 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 Angeles with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
