Is Falyn a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Falyn: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Falyn, and how old are they?
1,110 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,125 Americans ever recorded as Falyn. The median Falyn alive today is 19 years old; half are between 11 and 29.
The 2020 Census counted 895 people named Falyn (879 women and girls, 16 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,000 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|

| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 363 |
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).
