How many people are named Reagen, and how old are they?
An estimated 705 Americans named Reagen and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 19 years old and half are between 14 and 25. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 808 people named Reagen (679 women and girls, 129 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 676 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% 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.
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 8 names spelled alike, given to 110,020 babies since 1880, Reagen is the sixth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 none of their 2,472 babies recorded by SSA was a Reagen (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
