How many people are named Maeson, and how old are they?
1,020 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,028 Americans ever recorded as Maeson. The median Maeson alive today is 12 years old; half are between 6 and 17.
The 2020 Census counted 644 people named Maeson (203 women and girls, 441 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 756 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% 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.

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|

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).
