Is Earvin a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Earvin has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 93 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Earvin: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Earvin, and how old are they?
An estimated 689 Americans named Earvin and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (58% of everyone recorded); the median is 45 years old and half are between 34 and 68. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 628 people named Earvin (3 women and girls, 625 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 764 born in the U.S. The Census count is 18% 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.
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).
