Is Minha a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Minha has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 26 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Minha: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Minha, and how old are they?
An estimated 884 Americans named Minha and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 5 years old and half are between 2 and 9. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 450 people named Minha (429 women and girls, 21 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 352 born in the U.S. The Census count is 28% above 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).

Where Minha is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Minha is most over-represented in New York: since 1997 it was given 2.2 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 Minha with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
