Is Jeric a boy’s or a girl’s name?
Jeric has been recorded only for boys: SSA lists no girls with the name in 45 years of records (it lists a name only in years with 5 or more babies of a sex).
Girls and boys named Jeric: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Jeric, and how old are they?
An estimated 581 Americans named Jeric and born in the U.S. are alive in 2026 (97% of everyone recorded); the median is 24 years old and half are between 17 and 32. An estimate from SSA’s births and life tables, not a count.
The 2020 Census counted 744 people named Jeric (2 women and girls, 742 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 560 born in the U.S. The Census count is 33% above that prediction. Possible reasons: the Census records the name people give, which for many is the short form Jeric rather than the name on their birth record, and it counts people born abroad, whom SSA’s files leave out.
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 7 names spelled alike, given to 4,489 babies since 1880, Jeric is the third most given (13% of them). In 2025 none of their 24 babies recorded by SSA was a Jeric (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
