Is Felecia a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Felecia has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 94 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Felecia: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Felecia, and how old are they?
9,140 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 89% of the 10,268 Americans ever recorded as Felecia. The median Felecia alive today is 55 years old; half are between 44 and 63.
The 2020 Census counted 7,505 people named Felecia (7,494 women and girls, 11 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 9,432 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Silent Generation | 1928-1945 | 40 |
| Baby Boomers | 1946-1964 | 2,820 |

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).

Where Felecia is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Felecia is most over-represented in Alabama: since 1910 it was given 3.9 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
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 Felecia with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 7 names spelled alike, given to 104,328 babies since 1880, Felecia is the second most given (9.8% of them). In 2025 none of their 22 babies recorded by SSA was a Felecia (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
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.
