How many people are named Leiland, and how old are they?
An estimated 626 Americans named Leiland and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 13 years old and half are between 8 and 16. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 456 people named Leiland (23 women and girls, 433 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 508 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% below that prediction.
