How many people are named Delvon, and how old are they?
1,100 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 96% of the 1,148 Americans ever recorded as Delvon. The median Delvon alive today is 31 years old; half are between 23 and 39.
The 2020 Census counted 769 people named Delvon (29 women and girls, 740 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,073 born in the U.S. The Census count is 28% 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).

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among boys’ names in the state in 2025.
