Is Reyn a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 348 Americans recorded as Reyn, 14% are girls and 86% boys. In 2025 it went to 7 boys; SSA lists no girls 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 Reyn: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Reyn, and how old are they?
An estimated 339 Americans named Reyn and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 22 years old and half are between 9 and 33. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 384 people named Reyn (86 women and girls, 298 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 280 born in the U.S. The Census count is 37% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Reyn rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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 Reyn is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Reyn is most over-represented in Hawaii: since 1972 it was given 101.1 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 Reyn 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 8 names spelled alike, given to 8,319 babies since 1880, Reyn is the eighth most given (4.2% of them). In 2025 it was given to 7 of their 504 babies (1.4%), again the eighth 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.
