How many people are named Julyssa, and how old are they?
An estimated 942 Americans named Julyssa and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 20 years old and half are between 15 and 25. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 712 people named Julyssa (711 women and girls, 1 man or boy).

States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ 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 Julyssa with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
