How many people are named Danyale, and how old are they?
An estimated 941 Americans named Danyale and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (96% of everyone recorded); the median is 39 years old and half are between 31 and 49. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 785 people named Danyale (715 women and girls, 70 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 951 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% 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).
