How many people are named Dylann, and how old are they?
1,280 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,293 Americans ever recorded as Dylann. The median Dylann alive today is 13 years old; half are between 9 and 19.
The 2020 Census counted 977 people named Dylann (716 women and girls, 261 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,106 born in the U.S. The Census count is 12% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 59 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 574 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 649 |
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).
Where are babies named Dylann born?
The states with the most babies named Dylann are California, Texas and New York, with 100% of its births recorded by state since 1910.
| State | Since 1910 | Rank, girls | vs. national |
|---|---|---|---|
| California | 108 | not ranked | 0.6× |
| Texas | 82 | not ranked | 0.6× |
| New York | 6 | not ranked | 0.1× |
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ 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 Dylann with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
