Is Makyia a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Makyia: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Makyia, and how old are they?
An estimated 435 Americans named Makyia and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 19 years old and half are between 14 and 23. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 335 people named Makyia (332 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 420 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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).
