How many people are named Ezrah, and how old are they?
3,280 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 99% of the 3,304 Americans ever recorded as Ezrah. The median Ezrah alive today is 6 years old; half are between 3 and 10.
The 2020 Census counted 1,346 people named Ezrah (294 women and girls, 1,052 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 1,614 born in the U.S. The Census count is 17% 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Generation Z | 1997-2012 | 450 |
| Generation Alpha | 2013-2025 | 2,830 |
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 Ezrah is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Ezrah is most over-represented in California: since 1998 it was given 1.3 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 boys’ 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 Ezrah 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 Ezrah?
Ezrah is a less common spelling of Ezra: SSA has recorded 3,304 Ezrah and 111,768 Ezra since 1880.
Of these 6 names spelled alike, given to 116,105 babies since 1880, Ezrah is the second most given (2.8% of them). In 2025 it was given to 288 of their 8,900 babies (3.2%), again the second 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.
