Ranks and shares: girls’ names in each year’s SSA file; share of all girls SSA recorded that year.
Is Olevia a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Olevia has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 113 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Olevia: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Olevia, and how old are they?
An estimated 511 Americans named Olevia and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (26% of everyone recorded); the median is 68 years old and half are between 31 and 79. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 561 people named Olevia (559 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 627 born in the U.S. The Census count is 11% 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.
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 Olevia born?

Where Olevia is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Olevia is most over-represented in Louisiana: since 1910 it was given 14.6 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 Olevia 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 8 names spelled alike, given to 576,758 babies since 1880, Olevia is the fourth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 13,645 babies recorded by SSA was a Olevia (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
