Is Lexus a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 6,837 Americans recorded as Lexus, 96% are girls and 4% boys. In 2025 it went to 16 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Lexus: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Lexus, and how old are they?
6,740 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 6,837 Americans ever recorded as Lexus. The median Lexus alive today is 27 years old; half are between 22 and 30.
The 2020 Census counted 5,426 people named Lexus (5,173 women and girls, 253 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 6,649 born in the U.S. The Census count is 18% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 2,100 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 4,140 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 498 |
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 Lexus is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Lexus is most over-represented in Indiana: since 1990 it was given 1.2 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 Lexus with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 5 names spelled alike, given to 10,545 babies since 1880, Lexus is the most given (65% of them). In 2025 it was given to 16 of their 22 babies (73%), again the most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
