The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,054 American births named Allissa between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 2,018 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Allissa in 2025?

Is Allissa getting more or less popular?
Allissa is out of use. It averaged 15 births a year a decade ago and has not been recorded in the last five years.
Measured on recorded births. American births overall have fallen since 2007, so most established names lose births over any recent decade — a name can shed births and still hold its rank. Compare the rank above, which is measured against the other names of the same year.
Is Allissa a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Allissa is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 2,054 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 100% girls and 0% boys.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
How old is someone named Allissa?
Roughly 2,018 Americans named Allissa are alive today — 98% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 29 years old, and half are between 23 and 35. That is a narrow band: Allissa arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
