An estimated 955 Americans named Cordarius and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 28 years old and half are between 19 and 33. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 673 people named Cordarius (0 women and girls, 673 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 928 born in the U.S. The Census count is 27% below that prediction.

Relative to its national share, Cordarius is most over-represented in Mississippi: since 1986 it was given 15.2 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 boys’ 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 Cordarius with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
