Ranks: girls’ names and boys’ names ranked separately in each year’s SSA file; “under 5” is a year SSA did not list the name for that sex.
Is Page a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 5,498 Americans recorded as Page, 72% are girls and 28% boys. In 2025 it went to 11 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 Page: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Page, and how old are they?
4,260 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 78% of the 5,498 Americans ever recorded as Page. The median Page alive today is 39 years old; half are between 29 and 59.
The 2020 Census counted 5,781 people named Page (4,912 women and girls, 869 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 4,386 born in the U.S. The Census count is 32% above 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 Page born?
The states with the most babies named Page are California, Virginia and Texas, with 59% of its births recorded by state since 1910; Virginia is not among the ten states with the most births.

Where Page is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Page is most over-represented in Virginia: since 1910 it was given 1.5 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 Page 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 154,691 babies since 1880, Page is the second most given (3.6% of them). In 2025 it was given to 11 of their 895 babies (1.2%), again the second most given.
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.
