Is Dyann a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Dyann has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 56 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Dyann: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Dyann, and how old are they?
An estimated 770 Americans named Dyann and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (77% of everyone recorded); the median is 66 years old and half are between 56 and 75. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 955 people named Dyann (955 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 838 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% 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.
