Lashon over time
How old is the name Lashon?
Lashon first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1957, which makes it about 68 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 66 of the 69 years since.
How many people are named Lashon?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,251 American births named Lashon 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 2,118 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Lashon in 2025?
Lashon 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 Lashon getting more or less popular?
Lashon is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 6 births a year across 2021–2025 against 9 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.
Is Lashon a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Lashon is a unisex name — 68.2% of the 2,251 Americans given it were girls and 31.8% were boys. It changed hands: since 1994 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that. In births since 2016 it is 0% girls and 100% 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 Lashon?
Roughly 2,118 Americans named Lashon are alive today — 94% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 51 years old, and half are between 38 and 56.
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.
