Is Danie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 815 Americans recorded as Danie, 33% are girls and 67% boys. In 2025 it went to 5 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Danie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Danie, and how old are they?
An estimated 655 Americans named Danie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (80% of everyone recorded); the median is 44 years old and half are between 34 and 58. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,599 people named Danie (557 women and girls, 1,042 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 681 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.3 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Danie rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
How common is the spelling Danie?
