The Social Security Administration has recorded 6,303 American births named Coty 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 6,059 are estimated to be alive today.
9 American babies were named Coty in 2025, ranking #17,163 that year.
Coty is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 10 births a year across 2021–2025 against 17 a year a decade earlier — at these counts a single baby moves the percentage, and any year under five births is withheld at source.
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 Coty is mostly a boy’s name — 12.3% of the 6,303 Americans given it were girls and 87.7% were boys. It changed hands: since 1979 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that. In births since 2016 it is 8% girls and 92% 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 6,059 Americans named Coty are alive today — 96% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 35 years old, and half are between 32 and 38. That is a narrow band: Coty 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.
