Is Guthrie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 866 Americans recorded as Guthrie, 1% are girls and 99% boys. In 2025 it went to 6 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 Guthrie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Guthrie, and how old are they?
An estimated 598 Americans named Guthrie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (69% of everyone recorded); the median is 27 years old and half are between 13 and 41. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 681 people named Guthrie (52 women and girls, 629 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 577 born in the U.S. The Census count is 18% above 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.
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).
