How many people are named Dann?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,234 American births named Dann 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 1,766 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Dann in 2025?

Is Dann a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Dann is a unisex name — 51.2% of the 2,234 Americans given it were girls and 48.8% were boys. It changed hands: since 1961 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that.
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 Dann?
Roughly 1,766 Americans named Dann are alive today — 79% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 64 years old, and half are between 56 and 70.
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.
