Is Keenon a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Keenon: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Keenon, and how old are they?
An estimated 557 Americans named Keenon and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 32 years old and half are between 23 and 40. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 452 people named Keenon (11 women and girls, 441 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 554 born in the U.S. The Census count is 18% 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.
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).
