How many people are named Dayshaun, and how old are they?
An estimated 369 Americans named Dayshaun and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 21 years old and half are between 19 and 23. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 295 people named Dayshaun (5 women and girls, 290 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 366 born in the U.S. The Census count is 19% 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.
