How many people are named Bryann, and how old are they?
An estimated 473 Americans named Bryann and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 26 years old and half are between 21 and 34. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 527 people named Bryann (352 women and girls, 175 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 467 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Bryann rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
