Myia over time
How old is the name Myia?
Myia first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1970, which makes it about 55 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 55 of the 56 years since.
How many people are named Myia?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 2,267 American births named Myia 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 2,231 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Myia in 2025?
Myia 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 Myia getting more or less popular?
Myia is falling. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 12 births a year, against 43 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of -72% 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.
Is Myia a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Myia is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 2,267 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 100% girls and 0% 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 Myia?
Roughly 2,231 Americans named Myia are alive today — 98% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 26 years old, and half are between 19 and 33.
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.
