How many people are named Tyshun, and how old are they?
An estimated 394 Americans named Tyshun and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 22 years old and half are between 15 and 28. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 320 people named Tyshun (11 women and girls, 309 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 368 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.

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).
