Is Maryan a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 1,619 Americans recorded as Maryan, 98% are girls and 2% boys. In 2025 it went to 19 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.

How many people are named Maryan, and how old are they?
1,050 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 65% of the 1,619 Americans ever recorded as Maryan. The median Maryan alive today is 20 years old; half are between 11 and 36.
The 2020 Census counted 2,574 people named Maryan (2,457 women and girls, 117 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,003 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.6 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Maryan rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

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 Maryan is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Maryan is most over-represented in Minnesota: since 1910 it was given 3.2 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 Maryan with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Maryan?
Maryan is a less common spelling of Marian: SSA has recorded 1,619 Maryan and 143,295 Marian since 1880.
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 499,927 babies since 1880, Maryan is the eighth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 19 of their 1,357 babies (1.4%), the seventh most given that year.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
