Is Fredi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 985 Americans recorded as Fredi, 9% are girls and 91% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Fredi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Fredi, and how old are they?
An estimated 931 Americans named Fredi and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (95% of everyone recorded); the median is 26 years old and half are between 19 and 33. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,861 people named Fredi (157 women and girls, 1,704 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 911 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.0 times 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).

Where Fredi is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Fredi is most over-represented in California: since 1939 it was given 1.8 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 boys’ 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 Fredi with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Fredi?
Fredi is a less common spelling of Freddie: SSA has recorded 985 Fredi and 83,643 Freddie since 1880.
