How many people are named Courtny, and how old are they?
An estimated 492 Americans named Courtny and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 34 years old and half are between 28 and 39. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 686 people named Courtny (629 women and girls, 57 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 495 born in the U.S. The Census count is 39% 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.
