How old the living Zygmunts are
born that year still alive today
Of the 386 babies given the name since 1912, about 50 are alive — 14 in every hundred. The dotted line is the median: half were born before 1966 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.

| France boys | Zygmunt | 320 | 302nd |
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.
Zygmunt: rank by region
In 2025, Zygmunt was given 2 times or more in 8 regions of Poland.
| Region | Spelling | Place | Children |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dolnośląskie | Zygmunt | 243 | 2 |
| Kujawsko-Pomorskie | Zygmunt | 164 | 2 |
| Lubelskie | Zygmunt | 140 | 2 |

| Mazowieckie | Zygmunt | 180 | 8 |
| Śląskie | Zygmunt | 254 | 2 |
| Wielkopolskie | Zygmunt | 189 | 4 |
Each of these is the top of a list the statistics office cut off somewhere – Poland below 2 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.
