Is Omi a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 165 Americans recorded as Omi, 55% are girls and 45% boys. In 2025 it went to 12 girls; SSA lists no boys with it that year (fewer than 5, or none).
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Omi: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Omi, and how old are they?
An estimated 164 Americans named Omi and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 5 years old and half are between 3 and 8. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 260 people named Omi (137 women and girls, 123 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 63 born in the U.S. The Census count is 4.1 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Omi rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).
