Is Amery a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Amery, and how old are they?
An estimated 726 Americans named Amery and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 14 years old and half are between 9 and 20. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 721 people named Amery (533 women and girls, 188 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 601 born in the U.S. The Census count is 20% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).

Where Amery is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Amery is most over-represented in Texas: since 1971 it was given 1.7 times as often there as its national share each year would predict.
States: SSA state file, 1910-2025, published May 8, 2026; births count girls and boys together, and the rank is among girls’ names in the state in 2025. The file leaves out any state and year with fewer than 5 babies of the name, so small states are undercounted; each ratio compares the state’s births of Amery with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 75,584 babies since 1880, Amery is the eighth most given (<1% of them). In 2025 it was given to 26 of their 6,584 babies (<1%), again the eighth most given.

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
