Is Doni a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 823 Americans recorded as Doni, 83% are girls and 17% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Doni: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Doni, and how old are they?
An estimated 729 Americans named Doni and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (89% of everyone recorded); the median is 56 years old and half are between 47 and 65. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 920 people named Doni (647 women and girls, 273 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 751 born in the U.S. The Census count is 23% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Doni 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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 859,238 babies since 1880, Doni is the sixth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 121 babies recorded by SSA was a Doni (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
