Is Leamon a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Leamon has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 105 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Leamon: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Leamon, and how old are they?
An estimated 911 Americans named Leamon and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (34% of everyone recorded); the median is 65 years old and half are between 50 and 76. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 891 people named Leamon (19 women and girls, 872 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,113 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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).

Where Leamon is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Leamon is most over-represented in North Carolina: since 1910 it was given 4.3 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 boys’ 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 Leamon with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
