Is Gracy a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Gracy has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 98 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Gracy: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Gracy, and how old are they?
1,290 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 81% of the 1,604 Americans ever recorded as Gracy. The median Gracy alive today is 20 years old; half are between 13 and 27.
The 2020 Census counted 1,876 people named Gracy (1,862 women and girls, 14 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,206 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.6 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.

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).
How common is the spelling Gracy?
Gracy is a less common spelling of Gracie: SSA has recorded 1,604 Gracy and 84,166 Gracie since 1880.

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.
