📜 Kamryn Through the Generations

Kamryn is about as modern as a name gets. Of the 29,520 people ever given this name in the US, a remarkable 98% are under 30, meaning it was essentially unheard of before the mid-2000s. The peak came in 2008, when 1,443 babies were named Kamryn in a single year, and that burst of popularity is basically the whole story. Only 588 people aged 30 to 60 carry this name, and not a single person over 60 does. The average Kamryn is just 16 years old, which tells you everything about its timeline. The gap between all-time births and living people is also tiny, just 263, because this name is so new that almost nobody named Kamryn has had time to pass away. Since that 2008 peak the trend has been declining steadily, so the generation already here may end up being most of the Kamryns there ever are.
