Ranks and shares: girls’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all girls SSA recorded that year.
Is Edie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 5,752 Americans recorded as Edie, 99% are girls and 1% boys. In 2025 it went to 91 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Edie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Edie, and how old are they?
5,090 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 89% of the 5,752 Americans ever recorded as Edie. The median Edie alive today is 35 years old; half are between 11 and 62.
The 2020 Census counted 5,667 people named Edie (5,343 women and girls, 324 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 4,564 born in the U.S. The Census count is 24% 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.

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).

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 Edie with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
