Is Trini a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Of the 949 Americans recorded as Trini, 75% are girls and 25% boys.
Years with fewer than 20 babies given the name are left blank.
Girls and boys named Trini: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Trini, and how old are they?
An estimated 745 Americans named Trini and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (79% of everyone recorded); the median is 55 years old and half are between 44 and 60. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 1,136 people named Trini (824 women and girls, 312 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 782 born in the U.S. The Census count is 45% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Trini rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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).

Where Trini is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Trini is most over-represented in California: since 1913 it was given 1.2 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Trini with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 35,599 babies since 1880, Trini is the third most given (2.7% of them). In 2025 none of their 21 babies recorded by SSA was a Trini (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
