How old is the name Mardi?

Mardi first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1941, which makes it about 84 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 59 of the 85 years since. It was last recorded in 2009.

How many people are named Mardi?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 874 American births named Mardi 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 753 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Mardi in 2025?

Mardi 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 Mardi a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Mardi is a girl’s name — 99.3% of the 874 Americans given it were girls and 0.7% were 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 Mardi?

Roughly 753 Americans named Mardi are alive today — 86% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 61 years old, and half are between 50 and 70.

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.
