Is Kynedi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Kynedi has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 25 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Kynedi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Kynedi, and how old are they?
An estimated 309 Americans named Kynedi and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 13 years old and half are between 9 and 17. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 223 people named Kynedi (221 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 261 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% 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.
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).
