Girls and boys named Iza: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Iza, and how old are they?
An estimated 405 Americans named Iza and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (84% of everyone recorded); the median is 11 years old and half are between 5 and 20. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 590 people named Iza (531 women and girls, 59 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 293 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.0 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Iza 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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 5 names spelled alike, given to 2,523 babies since 1880, Iza is the second most given (19% of them). In 2025 it was given to 11 of their 170 babies (6.5%), the third most given that year.
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.
