Is Kongmeng a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Kongmeng: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Kongmeng, and how old are they?
An estimated 255 Americans named Kongmeng and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 30 years old and half are between 24 and 36. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 351 people named Kongmeng (4 women and girls, 347 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 258 born in the U.S. The Census count is 36% above 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.
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.
