Girls and boys named Nino: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Nino, and how old are they?
2,210 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 81% of the 2,740 Americans ever recorded as Nino. The median Nino alive today is 28 years old; half are between 14 and 48.
The 2020 Census counted 4,418 people named Nino (1,051 women and girls, 3,367 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,041 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.2 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.

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 are babies named Nino born?

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 Nino with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 3 names spelled alike, given to 2,908 babies since 1880, Nino is the most given (94% of them). In 2025 it was given to 30 of their 37 babies (81%), again the most given.
