Is Deionte a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Deionte: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Deionte, and how old are they?
An estimated 276 Americans named Deionte and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 29 years old and half are between 25 and 31. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 219 people named Deionte (9 women and girls, 210 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 275 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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.
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).
