Is Reynaldo a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Reynaldo has been given almost only to boys: 23 girls in 116 years of records.
Girls and boys named Reynaldo: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Reynaldo, and how old are they?
16,500 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 80% of the 20,575 Americans ever recorded as Reynaldo. The median Reynaldo alive today is 40 years old; half are between 25 and 57.
The 2020 Census counted 29,284 people named Reynaldo (54 women and girls, 29,230 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 16,688 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.8 times 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).

Where Reynaldo is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Reynaldo is most over-represented in Texas: since 1910 it was given 6.0 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 Reynaldo 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 27,466 babies since 1880, Reynaldo is the most given (75% of them). In 2025 it was given to 102 of their 121 babies (84%), 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.
