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 Rennie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 1,939 Americans recorded as Rennie, 48% are girls and 52% boys. In 2025 it went to 13 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 Rennie: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Rennie, and how old are they?
1,150 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 60% of the 1,939 Americans ever recorded as Rennie. The median Rennie alive today is 61 years old; half are between 45 and 71.
The 2020 Census counted 1,346 people named Rennie (597 women and girls, 749 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,226 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 3 names spelled alike, given to 75,508 babies since 1880, Rennie is the second most given (2.6% of them). In 2025 it was given to 13 of their 241 babies (5.4%), the third most given that year.
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.
