Is Eudora a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Eudora has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 127 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Eudora: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Eudora, and how old are they?
An estimated 643 Americans named Eudora and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (30% of everyone recorded); the median is 56 years old and half are between 13 and 75. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 767 people named Eudora (763 women and girls, 4 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 675 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.
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).

Of these 2 names spelled alike, given to 3,610 babies since 1880, Eudora is the most given (60% of them). In 2025 it was given to 25 of their 25 babies (100%), again the most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
