Ranks and shares: boys’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all boys SSA recorded that year.
Is Geo a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 1,324 Americans recorded as Geo, 1% are girls and 99% boys. In 2025 it went to 40 boys; SSA lists no girls with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Geo: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Geo, and how old are they?
An estimated 544 Americans named Geo and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (41% of everyone recorded); the median is 7 years old and half are between 3 and 13. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,285 people named Geo (84 women and girls, 1,201 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 292 born in the U.S. The Census count is 4.4 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Geo rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 4 names spelled alike, given to 1,562 babies since 1880, Geo is the most given (85% of them). In 2025 it was given to 40 of their 40 babies (100%), again the most given.
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.
Names that rose and fell in the same decades as Geo
