Texas over time
How old is the name Texas?
The Social Security Administration’s records begin in 1880, and Texas is already there in that first year — so the name is older than the record and these figures cannot date it. It has been recorded in 78 of the 146 years since.
How many people are named Texas?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 732 American births named Texas 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 427 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Texas in 2025?
19 American babies were named Texas in 2025, ranking #10,631 that year.
Is Texas getting more or less popular?
Texas is too rare for a direction to mean much. It averaged 18 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.
Is Texas a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Texas is a unisex name — 32.1% of the 732 Americans given it were girls and 67.9% were boys. In births since 2016 it is 14% girls and 86% 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 Texas?
Roughly 427 Americans named Texas are alive today — 58% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 15 years old, and half are between 7 and 29.
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.
