Is Mont a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Mont has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 82 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Mont: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Mont, and how old are they?
An estimated 240 Americans named Mont and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (27% of everyone recorded); the median is 68 years old and half are between 61 and 76. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 393 people named Mont (16 women and girls, 377 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 293 born in the U.S. The Census count is 34% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Mont rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
