Is Arlett a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Arlett: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Arlett, and how old are they?
1,400 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 1,410 Americans ever recorded as Arlett. The median Arlett alive today is 7 years old; half are between 3 and 17.
The 2020 Census counted 827 people named Arlett (814 women and girls, 13 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 752 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Arlett rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|

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 Arlett is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Arlett is most over-represented in Texas: since 1986 it was given 2.1 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 Arlett with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
