How many people are named Amiel, and how old are they?
1,040 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 79% of the 1,313 Americans ever recorded as Amiel. The median Amiel alive today is 19 years old; half are between 9 and 34.
The 2020 Census counted 1,000 people named Amiel (115 women and girls, 885 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 861 born in the U.S. The Census count is 16% 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.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 7 names spelled alike, given to 4,145 babies since 1880, Amiel is the most given (32% of them). In 2025 it was given to 49 of their 113 babies (43%), again the most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
