How many people are named Naziah, and how old are they?
An estimated 502 Americans named Naziah and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 15 years old and half are between 9 and 19. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 354 people named Naziah (224 women and girls, 130 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 414 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

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).
