Is Caterin a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Caterin has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 16 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Caterin: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Caterin, and how old are they?
An estimated 169 Americans named Caterin and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 23 years old and half are between 20 and 27. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 281 people named Caterin (281 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 169 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.7 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Caterin 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).
