How many people are named Massie, and how old are they?
An estimated 34 Americans named Massie 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 205 people named Massie (124 women and girls, 81 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 49 born in the U.S. The Census count is 4.2 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).
How common is the spelling Massie?
Massie is a less common spelling of Macy: SSA has recorded 350 Massie and 33,304 Macy since 1880.
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 47,999 babies since 1880, Massie is the fifth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 1,755 babies recorded by SSA was a Massie (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
