How many people are named Lyrik, and how old are they?
2,140 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 2,159 Americans ever recorded as Lyrik. The median Lyrik alive today is 12 years old; half are between 7 and 16.
The 2020 Census counted 1,325 people named Lyrik (780 women and girls, 545 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,711 born in the U.S. The Census count is 23% 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 | 15 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 842 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 1,290 |
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 are babies named Lyrik born?
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 Lyrik with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
