Recorded 1931–2024 · United States
Christin was most popular in 1989, when 958 American babies were given the name — ranking #548 that year. It was not recorded in 2025. Across 1880–2025 the Social Security Administration has recorded 12,217 people named Christin.
Christin first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1931, which makes it about 94 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 79 of the 95 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 12,217 American births named Christin 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 11,779 are estimated to be alive today.
Christin was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Christin is falling. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 11 births a year, against 40 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of -73% 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.
Across the whole record Christin is mostly a girl’s name — 91.7% of the 12,217 Americans given it were girls and 8.3% were boys. It changed hands: since 2015 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 72% girls and 28% 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.
Roughly 11,779 Americans named Christin are alive today — 96% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 40 years old, and half are between 34 and 46. That is a narrow band: Christin 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.
How much more common the name is in each state than across the country as a whole.
