Is Artie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 10,816 Americans recorded as Artie, 59% are girls and 41% boys. Boys have outnumbered girls among babies named Artie every year since 1947. In 2025 it went to 10 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 Artie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Artie, and how old are they?
2,990 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 28% of the 10,816 Americans ever recorded as Artie. The median Artie alive today is 67 years old; half are between 53 and 77.
The 2020 Census counted 2,901 people named Artie (1,040 women and girls, 1,861 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 3,576 born in the U.S. The Census count is 19% 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 are babies named Artie born?
The states with the most babies named Artie are Texas, Kentucky and Arkansas, with 46% of its births recorded by state since 1910; Kentucky and Arkansas are not among the ten states with the most births.

Where Artie is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Artie is most over-represented in Arkansas: since 1910 it was given 2.6 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 Artie 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 5 names spelled alike, given to 12,234 babies since 1880, Artie is the most given (88% of them). In 2025 it was given to 10 of their 26 babies (38%), the second 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.
