Is Maie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Maie has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 31 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Maie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Maie, and how old are they?
An estimated 1 Americans named Maie and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026, too few to state an age range. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 192 people named Maie (180 women and girls, 12 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 4 born in the U.S. The Census count is 48.0 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
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).
