How many people are named Deborha, and how old are they?
An estimated 891 Americans named Deborha and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (83% of everyone recorded); the median is 68 years old and half are between 62 and 71. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 462 people named Deborha (461 women and girls, 1 man or boy). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 947 born in the U.S. The Census count is 51% 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.

Where Deborha is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Deborha is most over-represented in California: since 1949 it was given 1.2 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 Deborha with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
