Is Kodi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 7,281 Americans recorded as Kodi, 54% are girls and 46% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Kodi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Kodi, and how old are they?
7,140 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 7,281 Americans ever recorded as Kodi. The median Kodi alive today is 19 years old; half are between 7 and 32.
The 2020 Census counted 4,660 people named Kodi (2,504 women and girls, 2,156 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 5,521 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 312 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 1,860 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 2,070 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 2,900 |
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 Kodi is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Kodi is most over-represented in Oklahoma: since 1967 it was given 1.1 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 Kodi 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 5 names spelled alike, given to 16,484 babies since 1880, Kodi is the most given (44% of them). In 2025 it was given to 260 of their 402 babies (65%), 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.
