How many people are named Korby, and how old are they?
An estimated 98 Americans named Korby and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026, too few to state an age range. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 230 people named Korby (63 women and girls, 167 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 100 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.3 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Korby rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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
Korby is a less common spelling of Corby: SSA has recorded 106 Korby and 1,658 Corby 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. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
