How many people are named Rashawn, and how old are they?
6,860 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 96% of the 7,117 Americans ever recorded as Rashawn. The median Rashawn alive today is 31 years old; half are between 21 and 39.
The 2020 Census counted 4,855 people named Rashawn (532 women and girls, 4,323 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 6,677 born in the U.S. The Census count is 27% 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.

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 Rashawn is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Rashawn is most over-represented in South Carolina: since 1966 it was given 2.3 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 Rashawn 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 4 names spelled alike, given to 11,864 babies since 1880, Rashawn is the most given (60% of them). In 2025 it was given to 36 of their 72 babies (50%), again the most given.
