Is Kamiya a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Kamiya has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 38 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Kamiya: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Kamiya, and how old are they?
3,350 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 3,374 Americans ever recorded as Kamiya. The median Kamiya alive today is 13 years old; half are between 7 and 18.
The 2020 Census counted 2,038 people named Kamiya (2,032 women and girls, 6 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,676 born in the U.S. The Census count is 24% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 79 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 1,520 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 1,740 |
An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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 Kamiya is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Kamiya is most over-represented in South Carolina: since 1984 it was given 2.5 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 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 Kamiya with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
