📜 Greydon Through the Generations

The name peaked in 2008 with 25 births that year, reflecting a brief wave of popularity that hasn't quite sustained itself. Only 344 total births have ever been recorded in the US, and nearly all of those children are still young, giving the name an average bearer age of just 15. Looking at the generational breakdown, 330 bearers are under 30, while only 14 fall in the 30-to-60 range and zero are over 60. That's a strikingly modern footprint. Globally, Greydon ranks at #935,178, with just 102 living bearers worldwide, almost all concentrated in the United States. The trend is slowly declining from its 2008 peak, which means it's becoming even rarer.
