📜 Kajsa Through the Generations
Kajsa didn't appear on US birth records until relatively recently, and it's a name that belongs almost entirely to younger generations. With 401 total births recorded across all time, this name has never had a broad foothold in America. What's striking is that 264 of the estimated 395 living bearers are under 30, which means a full 66% of people named Kajsa in the US haven't yet hit their thirties. That's a genuinely modern name by any measure. The 30-to-60 age bracket accounts for 137 bearers, and there are zero people named Kajsa over the age of 60 in the country. Its peak came in 2010 when 18 babies received the name, but the trend since then has been one of decline. The average bearer is only about 25 years old. Globally, it's a different story, with 8,410 living bearers worldwide and a world rank of 68,801. Sweden is where you'll find it most commonly outside the US, which isn't surprising given its Scandinavian roots.
