Is Maryann a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Maryann has been given almost only to girls: 52 boys in 142 years of records.

Girls and boys named Maryann: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.

How many people are named Maryann, and how old are they?

40,700 alive in 2026, estimated

That is 65% of the 63,005 Americans ever recorded as Maryann. The median Maryann alive today is 67 years old; half are between 54 and 78.

The 2020 Census counted 104,050 people named Maryann (103,954 women and girls, 96 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 45,794 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.3 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.

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 are babies named Maryann born?

The states with the most babies named Maryann are New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with 49% of its births recorded by state since 1910; New Jersey is not among the ten states with the most births.

Bars start at 1× (as often as the national share predicts).

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 Maryann with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
