How many people are named Aralynn, and how old are they?
An estimated 836 Americans named Aralynn and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 12 years old and half are between 8 and 15. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 577 people named Aralynn (573 women and girls, 4 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 674 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.

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 Aralynn is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Aralynn is most over-represented in Texas: since 2003 it was given 2.0 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 Aralynn with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
