Is Noha a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 550 Americans recorded as Noha, 71% are girls and 29% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Noha: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Noha, and how old are they?
An estimated 542 Americans named Noha and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 18 years old and half are between 7 and 32. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,565 people named Noha (1,124 women and girls, 441 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 426 born in the U.S. The Census count is 3.7 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.
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).
