How old the living Mailos are

Born with the name each year, and how many of them are alive today, 1880 to 2025 0 6 12 18 24 1880 1900 1920 1940 1960 1980 2000 2020

born that year still alive today

Of the 63 babies given the name since 2015, about 60 are alive — 99 in every hundred. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 2023 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.

Switzerland boys Mailo +1 spelling 335 231st
Belgium boys Maïlo +1 spelling 39 1,005th

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.

Parts of a country counted above, not extra births. The share is what makes the regions comparable: they differ in size by a factor of three hundred.

By canton, Mailo is most concentrated in Thurgau, where 0.05% of children were given it – 27 of them.

Mailo: rank by region

In 2025, Mailo was given 5 times or more in 1 region of Belgium.

Region Spelling Place Children
Wallonia Maïlo 394 6

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.

One city over a few years, so these are much smaller numbers than the national ones above and not comparable with them.

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.
