How many people are named Garhett, and how old are they?
An estimated 129 Americans named Garhett and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 25 years old and half are between 10 and 30. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 144 people named Garhett (0 women and girls, 144 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 112 born in the U.S. The Census count is 29% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out, and it records the name people give, which SSA may have recorded under another spelling or as part of a compound name.
