How many people are named Taygan, and how old are they?
An estimated 206 Americans named Taygan and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 16 years old and half are between 12 and 20. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 235 people named Taygan (173 women and girls, 62 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 197 born in the U.S. The Census count is 19% above 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.

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).
