How many people are named Tayshon, and how old are they?
An estimated 216 Americans named Tayshon and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 20 years old and half are between 17 and 23. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 188 people named Tayshon (4 women and girls, 184 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 217 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% below that prediction.
