Is Doyne a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 512 Americans recorded as Doyne, 12% are girls and 88% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Doyne: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Doyne, and how old are they?
An estimated 108 Americans named Doyne and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (21% of everyone recorded); the median is 79 years old and half are between 67 and 84. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 217 people named Doyne (44 women and girls, 173 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 157 born in the U.S. The Census count is 38% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
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).

Where Doyne is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Doyne is most over-represented in Arkansas: since 1913 it was given 15.8 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
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. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Doyne with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 7 names spelled alike, given to 82,584 babies since 1880, Doyne is the fourth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 122 babies recorded by SSA was a Doyne (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
