Maison first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1988, which makes it about 37 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 38 of the 38 years since.
The Social Security Administration has recorded 5,390 American births named Maison 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 5,334 are estimated to be alive today.
174 American babies were named Maison in 2025, ranking #2,426 that year.
Maison is holding steady. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 197 births a year, against 255 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of -23% 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 Maison is mostly a boy’s name — 15.1% of the 5,390 Americans given it were girls and 84.9% were boys. It changed hands: since 1997 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that. In births since 2016 it is 10% girls and 90% 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 5,334 Americans named Maison are alive today — 99% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 12 years old, and half are between 7 and 18. That is a narrow band because Maison is a young name — it only became common recently, so almost everyone carrying it is still a child or a young adult.
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.
