How many people are named Marshell?
The Social Security Administration has recorded 1,561 American births named Marshell 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 978 are estimated to be alive today.
How many babies were named Marshell in 2025?
Marshell was not recorded in 2025. The SSA withholds any name given to fewer than five babies in a year, so fewer than five American babies were given it.
Is Marshell a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Across the whole record Marshell is a unisex name — 40.7% of the 1,561 Americans given it were girls and 59.3% were boys. It changed hands: since 1957 it has gone mainly to girls, having gone mainly to boys 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 Marshell?
Roughly 978 Americans named Marshell are alive today — 63% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 58 years old, and half are between 48 and 67.
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.
