📜 Khi Through the Generations
Khi is a name that didn't exist in American records until very recently, and it's been on a clear upward trajectory ever since. With only 381 total births recorded in the US, every single person named Khi is under 30 years old, giving it an average bearer age of just 12. That's remarkable because it means this name belongs entirely to Gen Z and Gen Alpha. The peak came in 2015 with 37 births, and the trend hasn't shown signs of slowing down. It's a genuinely 21st-century name with zero representation among Americans over 30. Globally, Khi ranks #42,285 with about 17,154 bearers worldwide, and it's most commonly found outside the US in Cambodia, which points to possible Khmer roots for many bearers. In America, though, parents from diverse backgrounds have been drawn to its short, punchy sound. With rising popularity and such a young demographic profile, Khi could become much more familiar in the coming decades.
