Is Brissa a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Brissa: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Brissa, and how old are they?
2,770 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 2,793 Americans ever recorded as Brissa. The median Brissa alive today is 17 years old; half are between 13 and 23.
The 2020 Census counted 2,208 people named Brissa (2,205 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,552 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% 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.

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 12 |

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 Brissa is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Brissa is most over-represented in Texas: since 1979 it was given 2.9 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 Brissa with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
