How many people are named Kasey, and how old are they?
44,500 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 45,949 Americans ever recorded as Kasey. The median Kasey alive today is 34 years old; half are between 24 and 40.
The 2020 Census counted 39,152 people named Kasey (29,084 women and girls, 10,068 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 43,290 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Baby Boomers | 1946-1964 | 252 |
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 5,500 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 22,400 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 12,500 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 3,920 |
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 Kasey is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Kasey is most over-represented in Oklahoma: since 1950 it was given 1.4 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 Kasey 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 8 names spelled alike, given to 61,088 babies since 1880, Kasey is the most given (75% of them). In 2025 it was given to 285 of their 334 babies (85%), again the most given.
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.
