How many people are named Tawna?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 889 American births named Tawna 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 826 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Tawna in 2025?

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 Tawna?

Roughly 826 Americans named Tawna are alive today — 93% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 51 years old, and half are between 43 and 60.

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.
