Is Rosalin a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Rosalin has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 96 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Rosalin: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Rosalin, and how old are they?
An estimated 717 Americans named Rosalin and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (79% of everyone recorded); the median is 38 years old and half are between 13 and 59. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 969 people named Rosalin (960 women and girls, 9 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 669 born in the U.S. The Census count is 45% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Rosalin 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).

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.
