How many people are named Breydon?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 593 American births named Breydon 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 585 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Breydon in 2025?
Breydon 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 Breydon getting more or less popular?
Breydon is falling. Across 2021–2025 it averaged 6 births a year, against 23 a year across 2011–2015 — a change of -74% 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 Breydon a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Breydon is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 593 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 Breydon?
Roughly 585 Americans named Breydon are alive today — 99% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 18 years old, and half are between 14 and 23. That is a narrow band: Breydon arrived and faded within about a decade rather than staying in steady use.
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.
