Is Rina a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Rina has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 119 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Rina: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Rina, and how old are they?
4,130 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 86% of the 4,809 Americans ever recorded as Rina. The median Rina alive today is 34 years old; half are between 16 and 51.
The 2020 Census counted 9,004 people named Rina (8,965 women and girls, 39 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 3,853 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.3 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 are babies named Rina born?

Where Rina is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Rina is most over-represented in New York: since 1910 it was given 2.9 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 girls’ 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 Rina 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 14,373 babies since 1880, Rina is the most given (33% of them). In 2025 it was given to 79 of their 203 babies (39%), 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. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
