Is Gitty a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Gitty has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 67 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Gitty: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Gitty, and how old are they?
3,650 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 3,715 Americans ever recorded as Gitty. The median Gitty alive today is 14 years old; half are between 7 and 24.
The 2020 Census counted 2,463 people named Gitty (2,455 women and girls, 8 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,795 born in the U.S. The Census count is 12% 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.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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 Gitty is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Gitty is most over-represented in New York: since 1951 it was given 13.7 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 Gitty 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 2 names spelled alike, given to 4,223 babies since 1880, Gitty is the most given (88% of them). In 2025 it was given to 193 of their 200 babies (97%), 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.
