Is Navya a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Navya has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 31 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Navya: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Navya, and how old are they?
2,100 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 2,111 Americans ever recorded as Navya. The median Navya alive today is 11 years old; half are between 6 and 16.
The 2020 Census counted 2,120 people named Navya (2,108 women and girls, 12 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,571 born in the U.S. The Census count is 35% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 13 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 739 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 1,340 |
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 Navya is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Navya is most over-represented in New Jersey: since 1994 it was given 3.6 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 Navya with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
