How many people are named Areli, and how old are they?
6,660 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 6,739 Americans ever recorded as Areli. The median Areli alive today is 19 years old; half are between 12 and 26.
The 2020 Census counted 7,772 people named Areli (7,517 women and girls, 255 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 5,836 born in the U.S. The Census count is 33% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Generation X | 1965-1980 | 100 |
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 1,020 |
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 3,630 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 1,920 |
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).

Where Areli is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Areli is most over-represented in California: since 1966 it was given 2.3 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 Areli 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 45,121 babies since 1880, Areli is the third most given (15% of them). In 2025 it was given to 185 of their 1,766 babies (10%), again the third most given.
