How many people are named Zynia, and how old are they?
An estimated 188 Americans named Zynia and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 20 years old and half are between 16 and 23. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 166 people named Zynia (166 women and girls, 0 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 184 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% below that prediction.
