The Social Security Administration has recorded 6,318 American births named Grecia 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 6,248 are estimated to be alive today.
204 American babies were named Grecia in 2025, ranking #2,175 that year.
Grecia is holding steady. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 185 births a year, against 167 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of +11% 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 Grecia is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 6,318 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.
Roughly 6,248 Americans named Grecia are alive today — 99% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 19 years old, and half are between 10 and 28.
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.
