Is Elona a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Elona has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 97 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Elona: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Elona, and how old are they?
An estimated 928 Americans named Elona and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (81% of everyone recorded); the median is 28 years old and half are between 14 and 60. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,274 people named Elona (1,267 women and girls, 7 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 880 born in the U.S. The Census count is 45% 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).
