Girls and boys named Quin: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Quin, and how old are they?
2,170 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 95% of the 2,284 Americans ever recorded as Quin. The median Quin alive today is 19 years old; half are between 11 and 29.
The 2020 Census counted 2,739 people named Quin (814 women and girls, 1,925 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,943 born in the U.S. The Census count is 41% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Quin rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 3 names spelled alike, given to 3,800 babies since 1880, Quin is the most given (60% of them). In 2025 it was given to 32 of their 44 babies (73%), again the 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.
