How old is the name Marland?

Marland first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1913, which makes it about 112 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 87 of the 113 years since.

How many people are named Marland?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 1,223 American births named Marland 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 589 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Marland in 2025?

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

Across the whole record Marland is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 1,223 Americans given it were girls and 100.0% were boys. 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 Marland?

Roughly 589 Americans named Marland are alive today — 48% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 54 years old, and half are between 46 and 68.

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.
