Is Genevia a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Genevia has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 82 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Genevia: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Genevia, and how old are they?
An estimated 488 Americans named Genevia and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (35% of everyone recorded); the median is 71 years old and half are between 61 and 80. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 481 people named Genevia (478 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 610 born in the U.S. The Census count is 21% 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.
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).
