How many people are named Cresencio?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 879 American births named Cresencio 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 538 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Cresencio in 2025?

Cresencio 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 Cresencio getting more or less popular?

Cresencio is out of use. It averaged 6 births a year a decade ago and has not been recorded in the last five years.

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 Cresencio a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Cresencio is a boy’s name — 0.0% of the 879 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 Cresencio?

Roughly 538 Americans named Cresencio are alive today — 61% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 47 years old, and half are between 33 and 64. That is a wide band, the mark of a name in steady use across generations rather than a passing fashion.

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.
