Births per year. The dot marks Lonie’s peak in 1919. Gaps are years the SSA suppressed, which it does for any name given to fewer than five babies.

How old is the name Lonie?

The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Lonie is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 105 of the 146 years since. It was last recorded in 1990.

How many people are named Lonie?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,755 American births named Lonie 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 498 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Lonie in 2025?

Lonie 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 Lonie a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Lonie is a unisex name — 60.9% of the 2,755 Americans given it were girls and 39.1% were boys. It changed hands: since 1943 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 Lonie?

Roughly 498 Americans named Lonie are alive today — 18% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 69 years old, and half are between 59 and 79.

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.
