How many people are named Jameir, and how old are they?
An estimated 718 Americans named Jameir and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 12 years old and half are between 6 and 17. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 381 people named Jameir (7 women and girls, 374 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 534 born in the U.S. The Census count is 29% below that prediction.
