The Social Security Administration has recorded 24,646 American births named Lupe 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 11,457 are estimated to be alive today.
13 American babies were named Lupe in 2025, ranking #13,540 that year.
Lupe is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 10 births a year across 2021–2025 against 12 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.
Across the whole record Lupe is a unisex name — 75.5% of the 24,646 Americans given it were girls and 24.5% were boys. It changed hands: since 1996 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys before that. In births since 2016 it is 63% girls and 37% 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 11,457 Americans named Lupe are alive today — 46% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 68 years old, and half are between 57 and 80.
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.
