Is Jaree a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Jaree: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jaree, and how old are they?
An estimated 198 Americans named Jaree and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (98% of everyone recorded); the median is 29 years old and half are between 23 and 38. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 322 people named Jaree (189 women and girls, 133 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 195 born in the U.S. The Census count is 1.7 times 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.
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).
Names spelled alike
Of these 6 names spelled alike, given to 2,598 babies since 1880, Jaree is the fifth most given (7.8% of them). In 2025 it was given to 5 of their 34 babies (15%), the third most given that year.
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.
