Is Naseem a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Naseem, and how old are they?
1,520 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 98% of the 1,546 Americans ever recorded as Naseem. The median Naseem alive today is 23 years old; half are between 13 and 27.
The 2020 Census counted 2,501 people named Naseem (1,320 women and girls, 1,181 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,318 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.9 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 42 |

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 Naseem is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Naseem is most over-represented in Pennsylvania: since 1975 it was given 2.8 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 boys’ 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 Naseem with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
