Ranks and shares: girls’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all girls SSA recorded that year.
Is Evy a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Evy has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 78 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Evy: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Evy, and how old are they?
1,230 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 91% of the 1,346 Americans ever recorded as Evy. The median Evy alive today is 14 years old; half are between 8 and 23.
The 2020 Census counted 1,409 people named Evy (1,353 women and girls, 56 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 995 born in the U.S. The Census count is 42% 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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 341,933 babies since 1880, Evy is the fourth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 39 of their 3,994 babies (<1%), again the fourth 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.
