How many people are named Xion, and how old are they?
1,060 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,069 Americans ever recorded as Xion. The median Xion alive today is 7 years old; half are between 3 and 13.
The 2020 Census counted 496 people named Xion (81 women and girls, 415 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 570 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.
Alive today, by age

| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 245 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 815 |
An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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).
