Is Arron a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 8,249 Americans recorded as Arron, 2% are girls and 98% boys. In 2025 it went to 12 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 Arron: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Arron, and how old are they?
7,440 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 90% of the 8,249 Americans ever recorded as Arron. The median Arron alive today is 37 years old; half are between 29 and 47.
The 2020 Census counted 8,463 people named Arron (241 women and girls, 8,222 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 7,506 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 Arron is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Arron is most over-represented in Texas: since 1910 it was given 1.1 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 Arron 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 673,849 babies since 1880, Arron is the fifth most given (1.2% of them). In 2025 it was given to 12 of their 5,188 babies (<1%), the eighth most given that year.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
