Births per year. The dot marks Zeola’s peak in 1913. Gaps are years the SSA suppressed, which it does for any name given to fewer than five babies.

How old is the name Zeola?

Zeola first appears in Social Security Administration records in 1899, which makes it about 126 years old as a recorded American name. It has been recorded in 52 of the 127 years since. It was last recorded in 1967.

How many people are named Zeola?

The Social Security Administration has recorded 561 American births named Zeola 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 103 are estimated to be alive today.

How many babies were named Zeola in 2025?

Zeola 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 Zeola a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Across the whole record Zeola is a girl’s name — 100.0% of the 561 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 Zeola?

Roughly 103 Americans named Zeola are alive today — 18% of everyone ever recorded with the name. The median is 80 years old, and half are between 70 and 87.

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.
