Is Homar a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Homar has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 47 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Homar: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Homar, and how old are they?
An estimated 524 Americans named Homar and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (93% of everyone recorded); the median is 34 years old and half are between 27 and 43. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 654 people named Homar (0 women and girls, 654 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 528 born in the U.S. The Census count is 24% 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).

Where Homar is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Homar is most over-represented in Texas: since 1918 it was given 2.7 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 boys’ 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 Homar 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 3 names spelled alike, given to 61,922 babies since 1880, Homar is the second most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 21 babies recorded by SSA was a Homar (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
