Births per year. The dot marks Kreg’s peak in 1962. Gaps are years the SSA suppressed, which it does for any name given to fewer than five babies.

How old is the name Kreg?

Kreg first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1948, which makes it about 77 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 51 of the 78 years since. It was last recorded in 2005.

How many people are named Kreg?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 914 American births named Kreg 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 787 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Kreg in 2025?

Kreg 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.

Is Kreg a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Kreg is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 914 Americans given it were girls and 100.0% were 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 Kreg?

Roughly 787 Americans named Kreg are alive today — 86% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 55 years old, and half are between 42 and 62.

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.
