How many people are named Camisha, and how old are they?
An estimated 956 Americans named Camisha and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 38 years old and half are between 32 and 50. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 830 people named Camisha (827 women and girls, 3 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 966 born in the U.S. The Census count is 14% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

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).
