How many people are named Dezaray, and how old are they?
An estimated 909 Americans named Dezaray and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 26 years old and half are between 19 and 32. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 660 people named Dezaray (656 women and girls, 4 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 898 born in the U.S. The Census count is 27% 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.
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 Dezaray is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Dezaray is most over-represented in Texas: since 1978 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 Dezaray with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
