Is Cedrik a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Cedrik, and how old are they?
An estimated 172 Americans named Cedrik and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 21 years old and half are between 10 and 30. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 208 people named Cedrik (0 women and girls, 208 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 146 born in the U.S. The Census count is 42% 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.
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.
