How many people are named Emeri, and how old are they?
2,650 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 2,670 Americans ever recorded as Emeri. The median Emeri alive today is 9 years old; half are between 4 and 13.
The 2020 Census counted 1,494 people named Emeri (1,404 women and girls, 90 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,655 born in the U.S. The Census count is 10% 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.
Alive today, by age
Alive today, by generation
| Generation | Born | Alive |
|---|---|---|
| Millennials | 1981-1996 | 30 |

| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 1,990 |
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 Emeri is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Emeri is most over-represented in Louisiana: since 1991 it was given 2.9 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 Emeri with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
How common is the spelling Emeri?
Emeri is a less common spelling of Emery: SSA has recorded 2,670 Emeri and 64,249 Emery since 1880.
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 83,059 babies since 1880, Emeri is the fourth most given (3.2% of them). In 2025 it was given to 164 of their 4,780 babies (3.4%), again the fourth most given.
Spelled alike: names in the SSA national file with the same pattern of letters and sounds and at most two letters apart, and Wiktionary’s listed forms; births since 1880 and in 2025, and each name’s peak year, from the SSA national file, published May 8, 2026. Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
