Arizona over time
How old is the name Arizona?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Arizona is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 111 of the 146 years since.
How many people are named Arizona?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,695 American births named Arizona 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 2,497 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Arizona in 2025?
86 American babies were named Arizona in 2025, ranking #3,910 that year.
Is Arizona getting more or less popular?
Arizona is rising. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 114 births a year, against 76 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of +50% over the decade.
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 Arizona a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Arizona is a girl’s name — 95.9% of the 3,695 Americans given it were girls and 4.1% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 97% girls and 3% 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 Arizona?
Roughly 2,497 Americans named Arizona are alive today — 68% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 11 years old, and half are between 6 and 23.
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.
