Is Aramis a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 2,449 Americans recorded as Aramis, 8% are girls and 92% boys. In 2025 it went to 30 boys; SSA lists no girls 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 Aramis: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Aramis, and how old are they?
2,390 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 2,449 Americans ever recorded as Aramis. The median Aramis alive today is 23 years old; half are between 13 and 34.
The 2020 Census counted 2,426 people named Aramis (209 women and girls, 2,217 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,138 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% 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.

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 Aramis is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Aramis is most over-represented in Florida: since 1969 it was given 2.4 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 Aramis 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 3 names spelled alike, given to 2,766 babies since 1880, Aramis is the most given (89% of them). In 2025 it was given to 30 of their 52 babies (58%), again the most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
