Is Lukus a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Lukus has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 50 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Lukus: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Lukus, and how old are they?
An estimated 954 Americans named Lukus and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 21 years old and half are between 14 and 33. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 779 people named Lukus (7 women and girls, 772 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 880 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% 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).
