The Great Austin Investigation: A Name Odyssey (Probably Not That Dramatic)
Hey there, name nerds and census enthusiasts! Today, we delve into the perplexing world of baby names, specifically the ever-so-handsome moniker: Austin. Buckle up, Austins of the world (and everyone else!), because we're about to crack the code on just how many of you wonderful Austins are out there.
Is Austin a Rare Gem or a Commonplace Pebble?
This is the million-dollar question (well, maybe more like a ten-cent question, but you get the idea). The truth is, Austin teeters on the edge of popularity. It's not exactly a dime-a-dozen name, but you won't exactly faint from shock if you meet another Austin at the coffee shop.
Here's a nugget of wisdom to impress your friends: according to some name data analysts (yes, those are a real thing!), Austin hovered around the 96th spot for popular baby boy names in 2021. That means for every 500 or so little dudes born that year, roughly one was christened Austin.

QuickTip: Pause at lists — they often summarize.
This gets a little tricky. Counting every single Austin on the planet would be a task fit for a team of super-powered data wizards (or maybe just a really bored intern with access to a massive database). But, we can use those same name analysts to make some educated guesses.
Those same analysts predict that in the US alone, there could be hundreds of thousands of Austins roaming around. Mind. Blown. That's a whole lotta Austintastic energy out there!
