How many people are named Navaya, and how old are they?
An estimated 384 Americans named Navaya and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 13 years old and half are between 7 and 18. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 258 people named Navaya (256 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 295 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% below that prediction.
