How many people are named Reola?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 810 American births named Reola 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 199 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Reola in 2025?

Reola 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.

Across the whole record Reola is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 810 Americans given it were girls and 0.0% were boys.

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 Reola?

Roughly 199 Americans named Reola are alive today — 25% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 79 years old, and half are between 72 and 86.

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.
