Is Pinchus a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Pinchus has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 44 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Pinchus: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Pinchus, and how old are they?
An estimated 695 Americans named Pinchus and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 17 years old and half are between 8 and 27. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 509 people named Pinchus (1 woman or girl, 508 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 564 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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 Pinchus is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Pinchus is most over-represented in New York: since 1979 it was given 11.3 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 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 Pinchus with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
