Xan — boys' name

What the Data Says About Xan

The Social Security Administration has registered 132 babies named Xan between 1971 and 2023, spanning 53 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Xan currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2023. The name reached its historical peak in 2007, when 11 babies received it in a single year. Xan is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 123 additional births since 1965.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Xan performed strongest in the 2000s, accumulating 69 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Xan shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Xan in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 132 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
