Is Threasa a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Threasa has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 59 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Threasa: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Threasa, and how old are they?
An estimated 456 Americans named Threasa and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (69% of everyone recorded); the median is 63 years old and half are between 56 and 70. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 429 people named Threasa (427 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 494 born in the U.S. The Census count is 13% 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.
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).
