How many people are named Khristian, and how old are they?
3,300 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 3,360 Americans ever recorded as Khristian. The median Khristian alive today is 18 years old; half are between 11 and 27.
The 2020 Census counted 2,353 people named Khristian (426 women and girls, 1,927 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,939 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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.

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 58 |

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 Khristian is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Khristian is most over-represented in Georgia: since 1968 it was given 1.3 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 boys’ 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 Khristian with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Khristian?
Khristian is a less common spelling of Cristian: SSA has recorded 3,360 Khristian and 71,051 Cristian since 1880.

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.
