How many people are named Khyler, and how old are they?
An estimated 814 Americans named Khyler and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 9 years old and half are between 5 and 15. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 509 people named Khyler (103 women and girls, 406 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 568 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.
