How old is the name Delsie?
Delsie first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1884, which makes it about 141 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 91 of the 142 years since.
How many people are named Delsie?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 1,438 American births named Delsie 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 409 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Delsie in 2025?
Delsie 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 Delsie getting more or less popular?
Delsie is new. It was not recorded at all a decade ago and averaged 10 births a year across 2021–2025.
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 Delsie a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Delsie is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 1,438 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 Delsie?
Roughly 409 Americans named Delsie are alive today — 28% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 71 years old, and half are between 58 and 82.
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.
