Girls and boys named Maci: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Maci, and how old are they?
21,200 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 21,348 Americans ever recorded as Maci. The median Maci alive today is 14 years old; half are between 9 and 18.
The 2020 Census counted 16,677 people named Maci (16,635 women and girls, 42 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 18,494 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 35 |

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 Maci is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Maci is most over-represented in Kentucky: since 1973 it was given 2.4 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 Maci 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 8 names spelled alike, given to 95,289 babies since 1880, Maci is the third most given (22% of them). In 2025 it was given to 352 of their 1,690 babies (21%), again the third most given.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
