How many people are named Jerre?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 1,412 American births named Jerre between 1880 and 2025. That is recorded US births, not a world population — it counts people issued a Social Security number at birth in the United States. Of those, roughly 689 are estimated to be alive today.

Across the whole record Jerre is a unisex name — 43.7% of the 1,412 Americans given it were girls and 56.3% were boys. It changed hands: since 1955 it has gone mainly to boys, having gone mainly to girls before that.
Counted from every US birth the Social Security Administration recorded under this name, so it reflects use rather than opinion. A name given to fewer than five babies of one sex in a year is withheld at source and is not counted.
How old is someone named Jerre?
Roughly 689 Americans named Jerre are alive today — 49% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 75 years old, and half are between 69 and 82.
An estimate, not a count. Recorded births are carried forward through the Social Security Administration’s 2023 period life table, by age and sex. That table describes mortality in one recent year, so it credits the oldest cohorts with today’s survival rather than the harsher rates they actually lived through — the further back a name peaked, the more this will overstate how many remain. It counts people issued a Social Security number at birth, not immigrants who arrived later.
