How many people are named Coty, and how old are they?
6,040 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 96% of the 6,303 Americans ever recorded as Coty. The median Coty alive today is 35 years old; half are between 32 and 38.
The 2020 Census counted 4,781 people named Coty (730 women and girls, 4,051 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 6,054 born in the U.S. The Census count is 21% 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.

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 Coty is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Coty is most over-represented in Kentucky: since 1956 it was given 2.3 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 Coty 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 8,296 babies since 1880, Coty is the most given (76% of them). In 2025 it was given to 9 of their 116 babies (7.8%), the second most given that year.
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.
