At what age does a typical child start to refer to themselves by name?

Children typically start to refer to themselves by name around 24 months of age. At this stage of development, they are becoming more aware of their identity and are learning language skills that include the use of personal pronouns and names. By 24 months, many children have developed enough language abilities to talk about themselves in relation to others, which often includes using their own name. This milestone is part of the broader social-emotional development where children begin to assert their individuality and understand their place in the world around them, marking a significant step in both their verbal and cognitive skills.
