How old the living Kyrans are

Born with the name each year, and how many of them are alive today, 1880 to 2025 0 50 100 150 200 1880 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020

born that year still alive today

Of the 3,282 babies given the name since 1933, about 3,200 are alive — 98 in every hundred. Roughly 2,100 of them are children and 19 are 65 or over. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 2011 and half after.

An estimate, not a count. SSA births aged forward through SSA cohort life tables, which know nothing about who left the country or arrived in it — so for a name that mostly came to America rather than being born in it, this is a floor rather than a figure. Where you fall among living Americans.

Counts come from each country's own records and are not comparable with the US figures above, which cover different years and a different definition of a recorded name. Where a country writes the name several ways, the spellings are added together and the most common is shown. A row marked name registrations is counting something else: Portugal ranks each of a child's two given names separately, so a girl registered Maria Leonor is in both the Maria row and the Leonor row, and that figure is not a number of children.

Kyran: rank by region

In 2013, Kyran was given 5 times or more in 1 region of Belgium.

Region Spelling Place Children
Flanders Kyran 847 5

Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Belgium below 5 children – and published nothing after. So a region missing here is one where the name fell outside what was published, not one where it went unused. Places are shared where names tie, and the further down a list a place is, the more names can share it.

Source: US Social Security Administration, national and state baby-name files, 1880–2025. Counts include only births registered with the SSA, and names with fewer than five births in a year are not published. The living estimate applies SSA cohort life tables to those births; it counts people born in the United States, so it misses anyone who arrived later and anyone who has left.
