How many people are named Hazle, and how old are they?
An estimated 301 Americans named Hazle and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (12% of everyone recorded); the median is 81 years old and half are between 72 and 88. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 224 people named Hazle (215 women and girls, 9 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 460 born in the U.S. The Census count is 51% 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.
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 Hazle is more common than its national share predicts
Relative to its national share, Hazle is most over-represented in Tennessee: since 1910 it was given 2.1 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 Hazle with the births its national share predicts year by year, for states with at least 100 births of the name.
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 6,767 babies since 1880, Hazle is the most given (37% of them). In 2025 none of their 315 babies recorded by SSA was a Hazle (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).
