How many people are named Brianda, and how old are they?
1,940 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 1,973 Americans ever recorded as Brianda. The median Brianda alive today is 29 years old; half are between 20 and 34.
The 2020 Census counted 2,244 people named Brianda (2,239 women and girls, 5 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,857 born in the U.S. The Census count is 21% 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.
Alive today, by age

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 19 |

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 Brianda is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Brianda is most over-represented in Arizona: since 1979 it was given 4.5 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 Brianda with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
