Is Viann a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Viann has been recorded only for girls: SSA lists no boys with the name in 19 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Viann: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Viann, and how old are they?
An estimated 101 Americans named Viann and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (74% of everyone recorded); the median is 72 years old and half are between 64 and 76. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 209 people named Viann (207 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 107 born in the U.S. The Census count is 2.0 times that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Viann 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).
