Girls and boys named Emmalina: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Emmalina, and how old are they?
An estimated 619 Americans named Emmalina and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 12 years old and half are between 8 and 16. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 419 people named Emmalina (417 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 516 born in the U.S. The Census count is 19% 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.

Relative to its national share, Emmalina is most over-represented in California: since 2001 it was given 1.4 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 Emmalina with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
