Is Errick a boy’s or a girl’s name?

How many people are named Errick, and how old are they?
1,210 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 91% of the 1,326 Americans ever recorded as Errick. The median Errick alive today is 42 years old; half are between 31 and 53.
The 2020 Census counted 909 people named Errick (5 women and girls, 904 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,230 born in the U.S. The Census count is 26% 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.

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).
How common is the spelling Errick?
