Is Lashawn a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Lashawn, and how old are they?
10,000 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 94% of the 10,628 Americans ever recorded as Lashawn. The median Lashawn alive today is 48 years old; half are between 34 and 54.
The 2020 Census counted 7,636 people named Lashawn (5,568 women and girls, 2,068 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 10,067 born in the U.S. The Census count is 24% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Baby Boomers | 1946-1964 | 178 |
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 5,350 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 2,770 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 1,300 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 432 |
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 Lashawn is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Lashawn is most over-represented in District of Columbia: since 1955 it was given 11.2 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 Lashawn with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
