How many people are named Jamyla, and how old are they?
An estimated 738 Americans named Jamyla and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (99% of everyone recorded); the median is 13 years old and half are between 7 and 18. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 469 people named Jamyla (468 women and girls, 1 man or boy). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 591 born in the U.S. The Census count is 21% below that prediction.
