Is Lenwood a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Lenwood has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 91 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Lenwood: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Lenwood, and how old are they?
An estimated 967 Americans named Lenwood and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (40% of everyone recorded); the median is 67 years old and half are between 54 and 76. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 890 people named Lenwood (3 women and girls, 887 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,164 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.
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 Lenwood is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Lenwood is most over-represented in North Carolina: since 1910 it was given 7.7 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 Lenwood with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
