Is Kennth a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Kennth has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 73 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Kennth: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Kennth, and how old are they?
1,440 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 72% of the 2,003 Americans ever recorded as Kennth. The median Kennth alive today is 62 years old; half are between 52 and 67.
The 2020 Census counted 2,885 people named Kennth (6 women and girls, 2,879 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,570 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.8 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.

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).
Names spelled alike
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. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
