Is Daymon a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Daymon: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Daymon, and how old are they?
1,420 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 82% of the 1,723 Americans ever recorded as Daymon. The median Daymon alive today is 28 years old; half are between 19 and 50.
The 2020 Census counted 1,130 people named Daymon (5 women and girls, 1,125 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,384 born in the U.S. The Census count is 18% 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).
