Is Indi a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Indi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Indi, and how old are they?
An estimated 892 Americans named Indi and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 6 years old and half are between 3 and 10. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 579 people named Indi (498 women and girls, 81 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 438 born in the U.S. The Census count is 32% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Indi rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
