Is Armon a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Armon has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 115 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Armon: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Armon, and how old are they?
3,320 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 84% of the 3,958 Americans ever recorded as Armon. The median Armon alive today is 21 years old; half are between 9 and 31.
The 2020 Census counted 2,325 people named Armon (35 women and girls, 2,290 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,804 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% 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.

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 Armon is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Armon is most over-represented in Missouri: since 1910 it was given 1.3 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 Armon 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 6 names spelled alike, given to 17,541 babies since 1880, Armon is the second most given (23% of them). In 2025 it was given to 84 of their 466 babies (18%), the third most given that year.
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.
