How many people are named Giannah, and how old are they?
An estimated 619 Americans named Giannah and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 10 years old and half are between 5 and 16. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 324 people named Giannah (322 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 401 born in the U.S. The Census count is 19% below that prediction.
