Is Fumie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Fumie has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 15 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Fumie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Fumie, and how old are they?
An estimated 3 Americans named Fumie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026, too few to state an age range. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 376 people named Fumie (371 women and girls, 5 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 16 born in the U.S. The Census count is 23.5 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 Fumie is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Fumie is most over-represented in Hawaii: since 1915 it was given 195.6 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 Fumie 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 3 names spelled alike, given to 421 babies since 1880, Fumie is the most given (46% of them).
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.
