Is Saria a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Saria has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 47 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Saria: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Saria, and how old are they?
1,060 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,075 Americans ever recorded as Saria. The median Saria alive today is 15 years old; half are between 8 and 24.
The 2020 Census counted 1,104 people named Saria (1,077 women and girls, 27 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 882 born in the U.S. The Census count is 25% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Saria rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.

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).
