How many people are named Raynard?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 3,061 American births named Raynard 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 2,521 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Raynard in 2025?
Raynard 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 Raynard getting more or less popular?
Raynard is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 6 births a year across 2021–2025 against 17 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.
Is Raynard a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Raynard is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 3,061 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 Raynard?
Roughly 2,521 Americans named Raynard are alive today — 82% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 47 years old, and half are between 34 and 63.
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.
