How many people are named Haniyah, and how old are they?
An estimated 356 Americans named Haniyah and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 13 years old and half are between 7 and 19. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 239 people named Haniyah (239 women and girls, 0 men and boys).
