How many people are named Catina, and how old are they?
3,930 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 94% of the 4,186 Americans ever recorded as Catina. The median Catina alive today is 53 years old; half are between 51 and 54.
The 2020 Census counted 3,398 people named Catina (3,389 women and girls, 9 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 3,997 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Baby Boomers | 1946-1964 | 43 |
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 3,460 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 364 |

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 Catina is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Catina is most over-represented in Louisiana: since 1949 it was given 4.6 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 Catina 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 18,378 babies since 1880, Catina is the second most given (23% of them). In 2025 none of their 58 babies recorded by SSA was a Catina (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
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.
