How many people are named Skylin, and how old are they?
An estimated 992 Americans named Skylin and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 11 years old and half are between 8 and 18. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 725 people named Skylin (658 women and girls, 67 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 822 born in the U.S. The Census count is 12% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

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).
