# Agify

> Predicts the likely age of a person from their first name, using a database of 100M+ names across 200+ countries.

Predicts the likely age of a person from their first name, using a database of 100M+ names across 200+ countries. Best for demographic enrichment, audience segmentation, or age-aware personalization when only a name is available. Returns an integer age estimate, optionally scoped by country. A Demografix API, sibling to Genderize (gender) and Nationalize (nationality).

1 endpoint available through Lava's AI Gateway. See the [Agify API docs](https://agify.io/documentation) for full documentation.

<Info>Supports both **managed** (Lava's API keys) and **unmanaged** (bring your own credentials) mode.</Info>
