Is Jarrel a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Jarrel has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 74 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Jarrel: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jarrel, and how old are they?
An estimated 867 Americans named Jarrel and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (85% of everyone recorded); the median is 36 years old and half are between 26 and 41. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 752 people named Jarrel (18 women and girls, 734 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 887 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% 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).
